If we were to turn power over immediatly or let them put whomever they wanted in power right off the bat, we would risk starting another Iran. A "fake" democracy with an extremist islamic radical at the helm, running it into the ground. Not to mention, the inability to protect themselves at the current moment would result in even further decline of the country.

What we need to do is continue to have them work on the constitution (which they made, they signed, and they agree'd to), continue to get the "good" educated people into the politics of the nation, and then in June when we said we would - turn it over to them. We'll help with security and all that kind of logistical stuff, rebuilding, money, security, etc; but the laws that will be enforced will be the laws that they chose in the constitution that THEY created.

You can't just kick out a leader and say "there you guys go, now have fun". They have no idea how to run a Democracy, no idea what kind of laws will do what, what kind of policies will hamper or improve their society, etc. We have to educate them in that, get them to start talking and having dialog rather than hating one another, and *THEN* we can turn it over to them (which we will do in June)
