[Vision2020] MidEastern democracy

[Bill London]

Anyone else notice the funny corner Bush has painted himself into?

The Bush manifesto to enforce "democracy" in the MidEast resulted in American applause for the recent vote for a government in Palestine -- until the results were in.

When Hamas (which the Americans have long labeled a terrorist group) won the election, Bush rejected that democratic decision.  After rejecting the democratically-elected government, what now?

The same process is happening more slowly in Iraq.  As the American forces continue their occupation, they radicalize the Iraqi people.  The result will be a democratic vote to elect a radical theocratic anti-American government.  Then what?
