i didn't say anything about changing the religious culture over there. all i'm saying is that we have to help stablize the new govt. by training the iraqi security forces to defend there country, finish reconstruction, and reform the economy. all these things take time.
as for the port authority mess up, the white house had no idea that the deal was in place. that decision was made by a smaller dept., not the white house.
i can undrstand why he supported the deal. if we can't trust one of our allies in the middle east, then who could we trust. that company would have only run the daily operation of the port. port security would still be in the hands of the US. as a matter of fact, alot of the ports in the US are run by foreign companies but all the security is control by the US.
lastly, palestine is not a democracy. just because you have an election does not mean it's a democratic govt.
