"The Ironies of 'Spreading Democracy'" by Chimp ... I have always been a major backer of Israeli policies. I thought, however, that the Israelis made a big mistake in aligning themselves with Bush. There was a major swing of Jewish votes in the US for Bush in the 2004 election. This is all now backfiring as we see that religious leaders have populist positions in the Middle East. This desire for democracy in the Middle East is a sham and a cover for imperialistic policies specifically aimed at Iraq--rationalization on the fly, if you will. US policies have always favored strongarm governments in Latin America. "Spreading democracy" has never been an aim in Latin America by US governments. /john
