Col. McKenzie’s Deluded Vision of Democracy
“Do [the Iraqis] love us? No. They don't, and they never will. But can you get a reasonable system of government here? Yeah, I think you can. I see nothing fundamentally ideological here that prevents us.”
“I think this country can be fixed, but I think it'll take time to do it.”
“You've got a very small minority of people who are causing these problems.”
Col. Frank McKenzie, 22nd Marine Expeditionary,
