Iraq theocracy the best we can hope for (Jan 08 2005 17:27 GMT) - The most optimistic outcome to expect, [Zbigniew] Brzezinski said, is that Iraq will become a Shiite-dominated theocracy, "not what we would normally call a democracy."[Brent] Scowcroft joked that both [he and Brzezinski] were considered "realists" during their lifelong careers, but he noted that "it's become a pejorative term" during a Bush administration filled with idealists whose stated goal is to spread democracy in the Middle East. A lot of us with no foreign policy training whatever beyond reading the paper and a little common sense knew that you can't simply force democracy on an area where it has never before in history existed. When the civil war -- or, at best, the Shiite theocracy -- starts, millions of frustrated and enraged people all over the world will be screaming, "I told you so!" at the top of our lungs. |
