As long as a government represents the will of the people, the
world should support that government, including America.

Whether or not the government becomes a theocracy, the people of
Iraq are most likely to adopt many Islamic laws. Die-hard
terrorists will not be dissuaded from their attacks on America,
regardless of whether Iraq is a democracy or not.

Helping Iraqis take control of their lives, is an American gesture
to build good will. If it is a futile effort, at least we have tried.
