And I ask you...

Official: Iraq Gov't Missed All Targets

I ask you, other than for quarterly fundraising for their phoney baloney campaigns, when did our government ever hit a target for anything?

Balanced budget? Miss...
Compliance with all legal statutes? Miss...
Accountability and integrity? Miss...
Defending the nation? Miss...
Build a frikkin' fence? Miss...

I mean come on, if we start expecting governments everywhere to actually make goals and to achieve them, I mean what next? cats and dogs living together?

Are we going to say with a straight face that Pelosi, Reid and Bush " got it goin' on when it comes to governance" but the Iraqis, well there just a bunch of incompetent boobs who cant do anything right, so lets make sure they never get the wise idea to try to be a democracy again by leaving them to the tender mercies of the Iranians?, yeah that's a great idea, because once youve been betrayed and your nation stripped bare for genocidal retirbution, you're always willing to listen to reason, why just look at what that strategy did for the Cambodians!, say where are all those Cambodians anyway...

Let's see:

American Political Class Scorecard:

Despite every attempt to sink it, Booming economy. check...

Living in a peaceful democratic Western society for 231th straight year. Check...

Assassination level for elected leaders - near zero. Check.

Little threat to your personal health and safety, just for saying you might want to consider being a democracy? Check.

Accomplishments:
Exactly Dick.

Iraqi Political Class Scorecard:

Actually having a "political class" instead of an inbred bunch of murderous thugs from Tikrit running the place. Check

Booming street corners. check...

Living in the remnants of a fascistic wasteland that you are risking life and limb to convert to a westernized democracy for oh, what exactly 2 whole years. Check...

Assassination level for elected leaders - 50 percent. Check.

Little chance of maintaining your personal health and safety, just for saying you might want to consider being a democracy? Check.

Accomplishments:
Still in theregoing to work every day, taking their life in their hands trying to make that squalid crack house of a country into something to be proud of, and laying down their lives every single day to do it, no thanks to you, you freaking ungrateful egg sucking cowardly liberal dogs.

Who the frig said that Democracy was going to be easy?

Who?

George "I Froze my ass of in Valley Forge, got chased across the continent by an army for eight god damned years while my layabout congress "dwiddled, diddled and resolved", before we finally started to win " Washington?

Thomas " 36 ballots before Congress to break a tie between me and that contemptable curr Aaron Burr" Jefferson?

Dolly, "Got my ass shot off evacuating the White House from an invading army intent on buring it to the ground" Madison?

Abraham" I just got here and the whole country split in half,brother fighting brother and I got a bullet in the head for my troubles" Lincoln?

John F. "You cant say Dallas doesnt love you " Kennedy?

Yes boys and girls, democracies, as we can witness by our own sad example of playhouse politics writ large, suck when it comes to effectiveness. That my dear friends is precisely what makes them so attractive in the first place!

Tyrannical governments are effective, spit shined, trains run on time, "man as machine" nightmares.

Democracies, are a heard of drunken asses running for the shade.

Exhibit A: Pyongyang, North Korea.

Orderly, no crime in the streets, everyone knows their place. You can just tell that this scene smells like bleach, even in midsummer.

Not A Democracy...

Exhibit B: Manhattan.

A town so loud and boisterous, you are required by law to drink heavily, just to stay somewhat sane.

Yessiree, the reeking stench of mid afternoon "curb urine" is just nature's way of saying "Welcome to Democracy"!

Iraq is a new Democracy in a really bad neighborhood. It like opening a new IKEA in the worst neighborhood in the world, only instead of the locals stealing the shopping carts, they hold the employees hostage for money. Just because the locals commit crimes against IKEA, doesnt mean that you shouldn't build new businesses in bad neighborhoods, else, wont they always be bad neighborhoods with all the problems therein? You have to take chances. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt. You hope for the best, even when its against common sense. Its what makes us a Democracy. Think about it, democracies dont make sense, they suck, they always have, but you still vote, you still work at it.

Its not that they dont suck, its that they just suck considerably less than the alternative.

We are an old Democracy, and frankly, we still suck at very simple things. But give it time folks, they will eventually produce a line of politicians that will outdo even ours at "slipperly weaselness".

And on that day, we can be truly proud. It took us 60 years to provide Germany with the comfort and guidance it needed to produce that Moray eel-like bastard Gerhardt Schroder. So give it time, ok?

But for now, our little brothers have some growing to do. and we best stick around and help them do it, else

This man will, with our help, teach the world that democracy isnt worth the work, which will only make it more necessary for more of our kids to go more places around the world and die in bigger numbers.

We have a choice for the future and so do they, they have chosen democracy, they have stood in the face of horror and flipped it the finger. We should stand with them, instead of running away like the selfish gutless cowards they have been told we are.

The choice for Iraq is to be the "new West Germany", or the "new Somalia". Our choice is to be lying cowards or remain true to our words and ideals.
