Reply #2: When has U. S. bullying ever established a democracy

[shain from kane]

overseas? These people are under a delusion that it was ever our idea that anything other than another dictator or puppet would rule Iraq. Even if the purpose was "regime change", what was going to be the nature of the new regime?

It was always preached as regime change. There was no exit plan. The * administration never thought that much ahead, because it was always assumed that it would be business as usual and Chalabi or some other puppet, similar to the Mayor of Kabul in Afganistan, would be placed it charge.
