Your method was to replace every dictatorship on the planet with democracies. How's that more manageable? I'll be sure to add irony tags to my next post ridiculing your so-called solutions.
In the meanwhile, this will do for you:
Yes, it will take a long long time, and it will be very messy, but at least it is a possibility. To ask the question, "How's that more manageable?", is to compare reality with illusion. My method is possible, while your method is not. Me method is comparable with NASA planning to build a ship to that can take us to Saturn, while you suggest we fly through space with wings that we grow in laboratories and attach them to our backs.
There should be reality tags in here...
Your method is just as impossible as mine in real life. What kind of resources do you think your country has? It's not a question of taking a very long time or being very messy, even though any attempt will certainly be very messy. What makes you think you can handle several dozens of dictatorships when you can't even end the war in one? What makes you think you can win? Or do you plan on nuking the ones you can't break? I'm pretty sure the guy in North Korea would nuke you right back.
That's not reality, it's la la land.
Bush certainly screwed up making Iraq into a democracy by failing to send over an adequate number of troops. Now, whether this was his idea or Rummy's, it certainly doesn't matter. What he should do is send over an extra 50 - 100,000 troops and quash the infighting. We already see shades of this working with the "surge" as they call it, and it hasn't even really begun yet.
Notice how no one is crying out "civil war", "civil war" at the top of their lungs anymore? Send in an overwhelming amount of troops and we can get out of there faster. Now, for what ever reason (pride, stubborness, etc.) he thinks the war will be won on the same path we are now.
Should he do this and things get under control in Iraq, Iran will be bordered by Afghanistan and Iraq, which will be two stable semi-democracies with pro-US relations. In ten years, Iran will be ripe for the pickings, just as they prepare to go nuclear on a full-scale level.
Also, I said replace dictatorships BEFORE they are able to produce WMD, not after, by then it's too late. North Korea's nukes are no more powerful than a non-nuke right now. Are you even reading my posts?
??!?!?!!?
That is the THIRD TIME you have posted a response that was based on a purposeful misread/misinterpretation of what I have said.
I will now keep count of your replies based on purposeful misreadings/misinterpretations:
