This week the liberal news magazine Newsweek has run a cover story that begins as follows:

Quote:
"Iraqi democracy will succeed," President George W. Bush declared in November 2003, "and that success will send forth the news from Damascus to Tehran that freedom can be the future of every nation." The audience at the National Endowment for Democracy in Washington answered with hearty applause. Bush went on: "The establishment of a free Iraq at the heart of the Middle East will be a watershed event in the global democratic revolution."

What's strange about this? Newsweek, run by historian John Meachum, is very close to admitting that the Iraq War was a success and will accomplish precisely the objectives GWB (and evil Dick Cheney) set out to accomplish.

Only months ago, it seems, we were hearing the liberal media making sweeping proclamations about how Iran was the primary beneficiary of the Iraq War. Today, we begin to see a formulation of the true history, which is that Iraq may well become that beacon of democracy in the Middle East.

It is a fine day for those remaining few of us who will actually admit we supported the Iraq War at the time, and continued to do so throughout.

It isn't over. But it is starting to look like GWB had it right. The violence may not be over, but the trend is right and unmistakable.

The article is definitely worth reading.
