I think what Tom is refering to is that the coalition forces in Iraq are now accepting former soliders from the Iraqi (Iraqui??) army, or higher ranking former soliders. Which might be a good idea, if they can be taught democracy, search for those who are targeting coalition (or mostly american) forces.
I get the Wizard of Id thing...but can't describe it. Wizard of Id is a comic strip; the jokes usually involve some kind of jab at our current political state.

Or he could just be really low on blood sugar and babling Incoherently .

You decide.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say. My point was that the thought process which questions whether or not Iraqis can be "taught" democracy is the same argument as the White Man's Burden- that the non-Western European peoples of the world need to be "taught civilization."

No that makes no sense.

Actually by quoting the Kipling poem you have hit on an interesting deabte in the UK.

With the war in Iraq just starting, their were comments made in Parliment that the US was finally "taking up the white man's burden" with reference to the Imperialism and responsibility that it implied in the 19th century context.

Now some could see this an endorsement of the US policy in the middle east..... or some could see this a sarcastic commentary on the US policy in the middle east.

hey rudey, this is what I was talking about.


I would think the Parliament said it as a sarcastic commentary on U.S. policy in the Middle East, unless they plan building another empire sometime soon
