"I presume you feel the Bush effort to give democracy to these barbarians is an exercise in futility?"

Presumptuous indeed you are being.

1) Liberty isn't given, it is a natural right which must be realized, declared, and protected by establishment of society.

2) barbarians?

3) The history of the world is one of struggles against one form of tyranny or another to evolve liberties or to establish increasingly liberal democracies. How futile it is, would be a matter of perspective.
