Are We Going to Invade a Country and Put in Place a Consutial Democracy?

We should have done a better job of understanding our own constitutional values and practices. And if we had done, we wouldn't have been so naive about the possibility of exporting them in a very superficial way. Sometimes you actually do have to just trust the executive to do the right thing because, you know, the constitutional rules don't allow you to act appropriately. That's an argument that i think is probably not taken seriously enough by many americans hatr so imbued with this idea that we must constrain power.
