Of course, Kuwait is a shining example of a democracy since it was "liberated" more than 10 years ago. Eh?!

If that's really the case, why then is the U.S. busy creating our own totalitarian government at home? Democracy is dead on the federal level in the U.S. in case you hadn't noticed. Plutocracy is now in control and their trying their best to implement a totalitarian form of government with the PATRIOT Act and Total Information Awarness.

Oh I see, you have your head in the sand or are imitating the monkeys who "Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil." I really can't see how you could be so ill informed. You are in huge denial. BLIND and you blinded yourself. It's not hard to find malfeasance in our governments past policies. We got rid of the Legally elected governments in: Chile - Allende replaced with ruthless Pinochet dictatorship that murdered thousands. Iran - Mossedeq replaced with ruthless Pinochet dictatorship that murdered thousands. Haiti - Aristide (ELECTED 3 TIMES) replaced with ruthless ruthless right wing dictatorship that murdered thousands. And those are just the start. Since I became aware of US policy we've supported or engineered numerous coups that stuffed right wing dictators in South East Asia, Central America, South America, Africa, and the Middle East. Supported Saddam in Iraq with money and arms, support the Saudis, Kuwait and numerous other dictatorships in the Philippines, Caribbean, Greece. Sheech it's a long list. These aren't all George's work of course. George is just the worst of the lot of bad presidents we've elected.
