#1 They already have kleptocracy & mob rule - and they're so good at it - what more could they want, other than a pony to shoot and hang from a lamppost as a collaborator?

#3 Too true .com. They only mention the 'democracy' word because they know it's the magic word that makes most of the West melt and start to tear up.

Little old ladies will interrupt their democratic tea parties to watch in symathetic awe as the touching spectacle of a people struggling towards 'democracy' unfolds on their tv screens.

The intimidation and beatings and theft of ballot boxes will be ignored and the elections deemed 'free and fair' by the 'international community'. Then the Paleos will happily revert to their stone age behaviour.

Or am I being too cynical?

#4 eager and able to build the first real democracy in the Arab world

So what is Iraq, chopped liver? Or maybe to them it only counts if the local tyrant was removed by God instead of Coalition forces.

Democracy is only formalized mob rule when the society lacks rule of law. Idiots.

#5 actually the first real democracy in the Arab world is ...Israel. That's another reason why they hate it so much

#6 You say you want a revolution
Well you know
we all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know you can count me out
Don't you know it's gonna be alright
Alright Alright

You say you got a real solution
Well you know
we'd all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well you know
We're doing what we can
But when you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell you is brother you have to wait
Don't you know it's gonna be alright
Alright Alright

You say you'll change the constitution
Well you know
we all want to change your head
You tell me it's the institution
Well you know
You better free your mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow
Don't you know know it's gonna be alright
Alright Alright

For the Israelis, what with the Fence and the withdrawl, anyway.

#8 Democracy?

Nov. 21, 2004
A masked Hamas terrorist burns a US soldier in effigy in Nablus on Friday morning during a demonstration against the US offensive in Iraq.
Hamas is the very same enemy we fight in Iraq.

#11 Democratic traditions are not deeply rooted.

This sort of understatement is like calling the ocean, "rather damp."
