Major Bush flip-flop! What happened to spreading democracy in Mid-East?!!
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A42139-2004Oct18.html

Three months before Iraq holds its first free election, Bush said the United States would have to live with whatever the outcome is. Asked if the people of Iraq choose an Islamic fundamental government someday, Bush said, "I would be disappointed but democracy is democracy. If that's what the people choose, that's what the people choose."

1. Well, if they did decide to institute a Sharia form of governance,
at least they wouldn't have to hate themselves for their freedoms. :eyes:

held by a servant, and dried them daintily with a silk towel .

5. Yeah, what happened to that realistic Bush plan ...
to convert the entire region, including Saudi Arabia, into America-loving democracies??? Maybe they stopped putting LSD into the White House water supply.
