NO. Most emphatically NO.
Would democracy help Iraq? Maybe. Why not an enthusiastic YES!
Because the people of Iraq don’t seem to want Freedom. They don’t seem to want a culture based on Liberty. They prefer their political system which is part of Islam.
Should America try to change Iraq to a culture based on Liberty? Not really and America should be careful how much trying should be done.
Iraq would be better with a culture based on Liberty but that and it is up to the Iraq people to install it. First they must overthrow their religion-based political culture. The smart money bet is: that’s not happening.
Israel has a sort of system based on both a secular and a religious base so Israel is not like America which is a secular based political system. America is not hostile to religion but it has tried, unsuccessfully, to keep religion and government separate. That’s very different from Israel and almost impossibly different in Iraq and most perhaps all of the Middle East countries.
America needs to back out of Iraq. If there are strategic reasons for America to keep military people in Iraq, then OK, American military can be there but not without Iraq approval.
