Richard had made this point a while ago elsewhere and I admit that its truth
gave me pause. I still think that liberating the Iraqis was a morally good
thing to do, but I agree that we cannot force them to accept Freedom and

Have you seen how your version of ‘democracy’ is doing right now? Let’s play a
game--let’s ask people around the world whether they want to be a insert their
country here or an American.
That would be a poll I’d love to see.
Riots in the streets, fighting, killing, looting, xenophobic views of the rest
of the world... I can see why people would love to embrace your values.
