I know Kristol is in favor. Then again, he’s a “neocon” who bought into the Bush Doctorine belief in freedom across the Middle East. However, I think the last decade has shown the population of that area is incapable of responsible self governance.
We agree to some extent but you are wrong if you think that the Bush doctrine was ever about self-governance. A case in point was the administration’s effort to ignore the result of the Gaza/West election once their side lost. Bush only supported self-governance when people voted the “right” way.
