<< You mean sort a like how the Shah of Iran got installed? >> The Shah of Iran was a great leader. Most Iranians benefited greatly from his creativity and wisdom. He modernized Iran. Everyone keeps spouting the line of the brutal Iranian Ayatollahs. There is a lot of lies and propaganda about the Shah, but he was one of the best and caring leaders that Iran ever had. << I'm sorry, Robert, but installing democracies into the tribal Middle East is something I don't even think the heroes from Marvel Comics could accomplish. >> Let's free the Iraqis, and give freedom and democracy a chance in Iraq. Certainly you don't believe that Middle Easterners are subhumans? You seem to imply that the "tribal" nature of these beasts prevents them from being able to govern themselves.
