Tanvat, you're right. Both the American and French Revolutions came from the people, so they're not a very good comparison with modern Iraq.
But we DID successfully impose democracy-at-gunpoint on both the Japanese and the West Germans and it worked out real well. 60+ years later, both nations are still democracies and U.S. allies.
So we've done this successfully before, and surely the Muslims aren't any more fanatic than the Nazis and the Imperial Japanese were. Maybe we ought to look real close at our occupations of Germany and Japan from 1945 on, and whatever we did then, that's exactly what we ought to do in Iraq.
