"they would not have had this opportunity had it not been for the Iraq War" Sorry, Dave. All this Arab Spring stuff has absolutely NOTHING to do with the Iraq war. As much as you diehard Bush fans wish that it were so. Any Arab looking at Iraq now hopes their country doesn't become THAT f*cked up!

>> Democracy. It is a CHANCE at democracy. That's the reason we went to war in Iraq, that's the reason Bush pushed the "Freedom Agenda", and they would not have had this opportunity had it not been for the Iraq War. Obama has mishandled each and every one of these events to date, and had we had competent leadership it just MIGHT have made a difference. Its amazing how nuts you are. And I don't think its just sleep deprivation. The wars Bush started and couldn't finish were a disaster. Iraq, the country today, is a disaster. Obama has made the best of a huge mess. I don't know what we can do with you, but Rs can't govern and should never be in control. Transition to democracy takes years, decades, to accomplish sometimes. These countries are hard cases. Bush gave them their shot. Crazy.........just crazy. It is funny that you believe in Egypt they should get there is fits and starts, but Iraq should have just been neat and clean. I don't know if Egypt will get there but I guarantee you it has a much better shot than Iraq.
