''An Iraqi provisional government would have been the best way to go,' Makiya said. ''From there, many errors start because along with that comes the arrogance, the thinking you can do it all yourself -- give them a proper traffic code, give them a perfect constitution, et cetera, et cetera, and then go away and leave democracy and it's all perfect. It doesn't work like that. People have to be involved in their own liberation, even if it's messy.'"
