Hey, look! Bush says a democratic Iraq could be "a dramatic and inspiring example of freedom". It would be, I can't disagree with that. But I fail to see how giving the Turks and Iranians control over large swaths of the country and installing an American military government counts as democratic. Plus there's what we're hearing these days (no link, sorry) about what the Bushistas plan to put in place for after the US troops leave: another dictatorship, fronted by not-yet-defected generals in the current Iraqi power structure. That's right - guys scummy enough to be trusted by Saddam Hussein. What the hell is wrong with this picture? I mean, besides everything?
