"So it is the policy of the United States to seek and support the growth of democratic movements and institutions in every nation and culture, with the ultimate goal of ending tyranny in our world," Bush said.

I believe that was a noble vision and worth the effort to see if it could take root in Arabia. If it had, the benefits would be nearly infinite.

Sadly, Arabs and Muslims have been proved (by this test case) completely incapable of Freedom at this point in history.

Let 'em rot.

Better yet, bomb them to smithereens at every opportunity. And may they kill one another in greater quantities in the name of Allah until Allah reaps what he has sown: Genocidal Annihilation.

We’ll be drawn into war with the Islamic Imperialists someday again. The war has waged for a thousand years.

It’s the death cult politic of a dead conquering warlord.

I believe that was a noble vision...

I agree.

...and worth the effort to see if it could take root in Arabia

I strongly disagree. Bush II was gambling here. He had to have known that the odds were against him; there are NO true liberal muslim democracies, and there is a reason for that.

But Bush foolishly rolled the dice anyway. History will show that he lost that roll. And the effects are now coming faster and faster.

America and the West will pay dearly for Bush's foolish, long-shot gamble.
