The biggest lie of all - that * wants a democratic Iraq.
Edited on Mon Jun-21-04 11:27 PM by TruthIsAll
Just like he wants a democracy in the good old USA. Right.
If you believe that I've got a Diebold touchscreen to sell you.

It's the CHAOS, stupid!

Did we EVER support a democracy?
We didn't in Chile in 1973.
We didn't in Venezuela this year.
We didn't in Spain this year.
We didn't in Haiti this year.

Did we ever support a right-wing dictatorship?
We did in Viet Nam.
We did in Iran.
We did in the Phillipines.
We did in Nicaragua.
We did in Panama.
We did in Battista's Cuba.
We did in Saddam's Iraq.

1. Did we ever not support a right-wing dictatorship?
Unless a fair election proves otherwise, we have one in the USA now.

2. Well.... DUH!
If the Iraqi public really got to vote they would elect an Islamic Fundamentalist regime. Yeah, we would stand for that... NOT!

3. Not everyone wants to be "americanized"
I know that Democracy is great, but isn't forced democracy a contradiction? I think it's wrong for us to force our form of government on these people in the first place.

4. Word has it that we have invaded about 50 countries to bring
them democracy since WWII. None are currently democracies. We have a perfect record and I don't think Bush will change it.
