And they tend to interpret as freedom to praise Allah as they choose, and honor him by forming a theocratic society similar to the model of Iran. Of course the Kurds don't want this, so they will have to splinter off and form their own country. Oh, when they do this look for the Turks to declare war on them. And the Sunni won't live under Shiia domination any more that the Southern Baptist convention will hold their next meeting at the Vatican.

So the core values that Bush has been lauding are taking hold. Freedom and Self-Determination are, and will continue to assert themselves. The problems arise when the Bush and Iraq versions of these ideals are not the same. It is certain that we have gotten Iraq to the position they are ready to have a government determined by the concept of "One Man, One Vote," the only problem being these "Islamo-Fascist" (Bush designation, not mine) interpret this as "One Man, One Vote, One Time, then the Mullah's Vote for the will of Allah."

Obviously, mission accomplished.
