tejek and John, check this article out. I thought it was a good one in that it discusses how we should be for the process that leads to democracy despite what the outcome might be. He goes on to say that the cold war mentality was focused on the outcome (a regime friendly to the U.S.) moreso than the process. That mentality lead to U.S. propping up tyrants and despots. So Bush's new thinking is a very big break from the cold war mentality. Bush is putting process, democratic process to be specific, above the outcome. And I believe that is exactly what we should be doing. Let freedom and democracy prevail and I am sure that in the long run, America will benefit handsomely. Prop up dictators and tyrants and I can guarantee we're in for quite a few more 9/11s.
