ready for it?

People talk about Iraqis not being ready for democracy, but sometimes I think it's us who arent ready. This morning on NPR they were talking to Amal Kashif al-Ghita about her run for a seat in the Iraqi Government. She said more in two minutes than most American candidates say in two hours worth of soundbites. If she loses, do you suppose we could get her to come here and run for office?

She'd never be able to into the country because of our "terror prevention" efforts. I'm sure nothing would terrify our own nutcase politicians than a person who speaks their mind.
