The Iraqi government on June 8 declared that all private militias will be allowed to remain- this includes Kurds, Shiites and Sunnis. That statement merely confirmed the realities of democracies that are being underwritten by US treasure and lives. Afghanistan has not formally endorsed private militias yet. But the reality of 100,000 members of private militias will in time lead to a similar statement.
In Washington Sean McCormack, a State Department spokesman said on June 8 that American officials no longer played a role in determining the policy of militias. There you have it. Democracy in the Middle East will really cover nations comprised of war lords that have been the result of the past 10,000 years of evolution. The facade of democracy will disappear as fast as it appeared when America stops bribing war lords to go through the motions of a western style democracy.
America in time will evolve into a model of local and regional governments that more mimic the Middle East experiece. They are more efficient and adaptive forms of governments. Democracies always end up being too expensive.
