| 2. It is hard for me to believe that Democracy was ever really the plan |

In Iran prior to 1979, we had a pro-western secular leader of a fanatically Shiite country. In Iraq we had a pro-western secular leader of a mixed muslim country. I would gladly go back to the Shah and Saddam (compared to what we have currently).
