The Iraqis don't need our help running their country any more than we need their help running ours. Especially considering the US government's tendency to support and fund brutal dictators, such as the following:
* Tiburcio Andino (Honduras)
* Carlos Castillo Armas (Guatemala)
* Fulgencio Batista (Cuba)
* Ngo Dinh Diem (Vietnam)
* "Papa Doc" Duvalier (Haiti)
* King Fahd (Saudi Arabia)
* King Hussein (Jordan)
* Saddam Hussein (Iraq)
* Chiang Kai-shek (China)
* Ferdinand Marcos (Phillippines)
* Joseph Désiré Mobutu (Congo/Zaire)
* Manuel Noriega (Panama)
* Mohammed Riza Pahlavi (the Shah of Iran)
* The Somoza Family (Nicaragua)
* Suharto (Indonesia)
* Rafael Trujillo Molina (Dominican Republic)
* Salvador Allende (Chile)
