Bill,

Good questions.

Let 'er rip, Pat.

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?
