Speed-bumps to Democracy
Please stop calling all if Iraq's bloody days and failures “Speed-bumps” to democracy.
Speed bumps are put up by governments to purposely slow the flow of progress. I think instead of calling them “speed bumps” to democracy we should call them “potholes” on the road to democracy. But, potholes usually get a quick fix. Unfortunately, we are in a position that will require more than a quick fix.
Anyone have any better road based analogy's other than speed bumps and potholes?
I know it is just a word but it does bother me. Let's have some fun with this.

Nothing in particular comes to mind, sinkhole perhaps.
Dru can we get bumper stickers made?
What about the hundreds of thousands who were killed by Saddam?
I once read that 100,000 children had died between the two wars because we would not let Iraq have a filtration device. It was a banned material.
