What the heck does democracy has to do with Iraq? It is utterly naive and disingenuous to believe the US can project democracy upon a society which has not demonstrated the propensity, the willingness, or the maturity to embrace this form of government. And even if democracy can be constructed and sustained in the Mideast by its own merit, what happens if the populace freely elects a fundamentalist regime which is openly anti-American and anti-Israeli? The US cannot indefinitely prevent the remainder of the world from obtaining weapons of mass destruction nor can it occupy the rest of the world to prevent or pre-empt such possibilities. This ideologic foreign policy is sheer folly. The Bush Administration is setting itself up (and the administrations to follow which will have to mop up this mess) for major failure in Mideast. There will be a new wave of worldwide anti-American and anti-Israeli sentiment tied into new terrorist roots which can be traced to this administration's belligerent foreign policy. George Junior will be recorded in the history book as the one term American president who let the genie of the bottle in the Mideast. This is so sad....
