#1 Democracy's the mechanism, individual liberty's the goal

Yes!

#2 Seems to me what's missing is a strong-man semi-dictator who can get along with the U.S. Arabs don't know how to live without a tyrant in charge.

#3 You mean like your mother being a semi-virgin?

Let the Iraqis determine their own means of building a democracy, as long as it incorporates individual rights, the right to make a profit, and whatever they need to maintain a deomcracy.

Dictator, my ass.

#4 He's right that Arabs don't know how to live without a dictator to tell them what to do. That's the root of their problem. All these years we've been trying to nudge them toward the potty of individual liberty by being nice. Since 9-11 we've adopted the rolled up newspaper approach.
