Well, Bush gave them their shot at a better life. You have to give him credit for that. In retrospect it was wishful thinking on his part.

I hoped they could adopt democracy too but they’ve made it pretty clear that they can’t.

Sadly the middle eastern analysts are still talking about bringing the Sunnis back into the political process in Iraq.

We watched them all line up to vote.....And this time, there was more than one candidate.

You have to define Democracy...and then take a real, good look at our country...where they want to take away your guns, will put you out of business for not baking a homo wedding cake, have you fired for saying "ho", force you to buy health insurance under penalty of a monstrous fine.

Now, explain Democracy to me again.

No, he didn't. He gave oil companies and other globalist corporations a shot at better profits.

In the countries where the US masterminded the overthrow of heavy handed leaders, the people were living good lives, and were okay with their leadership. Put Syria with Assad on that list....Syria was doing just fine before the attempts to oust Assad.

And meanwhile, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, our allies, have truly restrictive governance. Why are they our allies anyway, if we still pretend to defend freedom?
