Democracy in the new Iraq is a myth

Before we totally laugh out loud at the concept, let us consider the fact that the Saudis have announced they are planning democratic reforms and considering asking the United States to withdraw military support.

You have to stop and think about this. The war with Iraq hasn't even started yet, and Bush's policy is ALREADY having major positive effect in the region. Who would have considered this two years ago?

Who knows what the Iraqi brand of democracy may look like? Who knows what it will take to get it up and running? One thing is known, however, and that is that it will be a vast improvement over the current situation.

Ten years from now, we could well be looking at a Middle East region where the Saudis, Iraq, and Iran all have made tremendous strides toward democracy. And there will be one person to blame for it: George W. Bush, the president of the "hanging chads".
