Quote by Barbara Boxer
We need to give the Iraqis a chance to build their own future. It should be in their hands. It must be in their hands. That is what democracy is all about. We can teach it, we can explain it, but they must want it enough to make it work for them.
Summary
This quote emphasizes the importance of allowing the citizens of Iraq to take ownership and responsibility for their own future. It argues that democracy cannot be imposed; instead, it must be embraced and nurtured by the people themselves. While others can offer support and guidance, true success in building a democratic society depends on the Iraqis' desire and willingness to put in the effort required for it to flourish.
