Think about it. Texas-style democracy.

Pre-invasion, Iraq was a state built on cheap oil and cheap labor, with
several classes of citizens, fundamentalists with a gun on every block,
paranoia, and a small cadre of graft-fed politicians leading them all.

Now, that model has been modified by US forces who ousted their leader,
Saddam, and replaced him with the Texas model: a state built on cheap oil,
cheap labor, several classes of citizens, fundamentalists with a gun on
every block, paranoia, and a small cadre of graft-fed politicians leading
them all.

Progress, Republican style.

I'd gladly adopt Iraq as our 50th state in exchange for ridding ourselves of
a blue state or two. I'd start with California...and Massachusetts would be
a close second.
