Twice this morning on a discussion program a participant referred to "the democratically erected Government of Iraq". Given that by complete coincidence ( Roll Eyes ) it is precisely the Government that our Governments wanted I suspect that "erected" is exactly the right verb to use.

Bob, My reaction was somewhat risque, and thank you for the biggest chuckle of my day, I needed it

I placed the q before Laverne, whereupon she replied that the phrase meant the same thing either way, although it (meaning the gov't) would certainly be corrupt

Was said participant male or female? Wink I note that your sentences carefully avoid any indication. Eek

I ran it by Shirley, and she told me to go outside and play in the fresh air rather than remaining cooped up inside staring at the Internet. It made me chuckle myself since I don't know who this Shirley is. Part of the Gates Continuum?
