Instead of having to deal with the tedious process of nurturing democratic institutions in Iraq, the United States should solve the whole controversy about elections by sending out a ballot asking "Should Saddam Hussein be recalled?"

Bursting with gratitude for their benificent liberators, the United States, Iraqis of all political backgrounds would undoubtedly embrace democracy as totally as it is in the US. Arnold Schwarzenegger would surely win in a landslide.

California would be bursting with gratitude too.
