It seems to me that whenever a country fails to roll over and have it's tummy tickled on being presented with the obvious superiority of western liberal democracy/capitalism, the leaders of the West are totally at a loss as to how to react.
Perhaps it's time to revive the old Soviet solution. As it was patently obvious that Communism was the perfect system, it logically followed that opponents were mentally ill if they were incapable of recognising this. Therefore they could be incarcerated in "treatment" facilities and "re-educated" until they saw the light.
Once enough Iraqis are converted, we could disengage our peacekeeping forces and let them get on with running their own country.
