FYI - Democracy and Arabs

Did you know that there is no word for 'compromise' in the Arabic
language? Since democracy is all about compromise it will be
interesting to see what happens...I'm guessing continued Iraqi strife
for the next few years (decades?)

And no, the insurgency will not stop just because a Constitution is ok'd
by the Iraqis, if even that happens, as some in the Administration have
said...they are dreaming.
