What a revoltin' development this is

Darn. The UN is siding with the Shia about the need for full and free elections. And we thought we could get away with Bush-style democracy, a hybrid of appointment, control and, above all, a favorable entity.

Now, what if the Iraqis ask us to leave? Or maybe they just ask us to stay in our place, stranded in our out-of-town bases? Or maybe we become the enforcers for the Shia government, shooting down rioters who are protesting the Shia rules about women's rights and suppression of the Baathists?

The nightmare has just begun.
