You've perked my interest. Could you perhaps elaborate on such a
model? Which nordic country are you referring to?<br>

<pre wrap="">There must be a global democratic political structure with executive
legislative and judicial powers. That's how we'll "spread democracy".
People should arbitrate their problems through that system.
This structure should be lean, representative, participatory and strong.
I would suggest looking at nordic countries for starting models.

Do we use the United Nations? That hasn't worked in the past....is

because it is better at it but because no one else wants the role.
The only allies we have in Iraq are the Iraqi people who are interested
in Democracy. That's good enough for me.

As far as help in Iraq, we have fewer and fewer
allies. Most of the world is horrified by what we
are doing, no matter how we try to pretty it up
with blather about democracy.
