<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anyone else notice the funny corner Bush has
painted himself into?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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?</FONT></DIV>
