Ted, > They would explain that the ME was not ready for democracy........the implication being that Middle Easterners were not sophisticated enough.

This was the argument of both isolationist conservatives and anti-war liberals against the overthrow of Saddam Hussein.

No it wasn't. No it wasn't. No it wasn't. No it wasn't. No it wasn't. No it wasn't. No it wasn't. No it wasn't.

Stop trying to rewrite history.

The truth is turning Iraq into a democracy was an afterthought on the part of the bushies. It was to help sell the invasion. Their primary focus was WMDs. Remember?!

And liberals were opposed to the invasion because the invasion was pure, militaristic, unnecessary crap....shit that is loved by you and your colleagues. And one that has set this country back economically.

So stop trying to rewrite histoy.

Kind of funny how the "neocon" predictions of spreading freedom across the Middle East is actually coming to fruition.

Dude, the invasion of Iraq was in 2003. Gov'ts didn't start falling until 2011.........a year after Obama's speech in Cairo. Get over yourself.

Think that would have happened without Bush's grand adventures into Iraq and Afghanistan? One could argue that, just like one could argue that the Soviet Union would have collapsed without Reagan.

Either way, it's good to see history on the side of freedom and human rights. No thanks to those who thought Iraq was a "paradise with milk and honey" before Team America showed up ... LOL

You're delusional.
