4. You invaded their country and put in a puppet government, Mr. Waddington.
"What is right for Iraq? To a certain degree we have tried to instill our values in the country," said Dan Waddington, a senior American adviser to the Iraqi police. "If the people of Iraq believe that type of force is justified to get control of the problems of the country, are we the ones to say no, do it by our standards?"

It is a little late to claim that you don't want to interfere in their domestic affairs. This is all to prime the American people for the reality that Bush had no intention of installing a democracy in Iraq - just a change of strongmen, to one who is more compliant (for now).
