Two handfulls of democracy? You must have thirty fingers on each hand. That is ok, because President Bush will soon influence world events enough that you will need three of those mutated hands of yours. (OT - Curious, do the extra fingers help your typing?) Just because the word democratic is in the nation's name as with the German Democratic Republic does not mean its a democracy. I think there may be 20-30 democracies in a world with over 200 countries. You say you are familiar with the Declaration of Independence. Do you really feel fit to sit as judge of which nations in the world deserve to be free? No, I can only judge what's best for this country. Why do you think you know what's best for the Iraqis? The Iraqis vindicated themselves very well against the Democrat partisan naysayers. Iraqis came out in great numbers to register their votes in the nascent democracy. I guess you haven't heard. As I expected, that percentage turnout is starting to drop very quickly. And did you know that to show proof who they were when they went to vote, the Iraqis showed their UN food for oil cards. From the same program, you all are calling corrupt. The Iraqis deserve a huge congratulation for going from fear to boldly showing up at the polling places. The NeoLibs who feel they don't deserve to be free should hang their heads in shame. Why do you all need to twist everything we say? No one said that the Iraqis shouldn't be free. We just don't want to pay for it in American lives and money.
