I know that trying to have a reasoned discussion, on this board, is like trying to find an atheist in the Bush administration, but anyway… I’d be interested in your answers to these:
1. Why do think the Americans would put a properly representative democracy in Iraq, when any government that represented the will of the Iraqi people would be antagonistic toward the US, totally opposed to Israel (and its very existence), and primarily concerned with keeping the price of oil as high as possible?
2. Why do you think the man who supported a coup in Venezuela (which could only have resulted in a Pinochet style purge of Chavistas, so that they wouldn’t have the numbers anymore, before setting up democracy again), is seriously interested in fostering democracy?
3. Why, when you can surely see there are good reasons to be suspicious of Bush’s motives (or concerned about the possible outcomes in Iraq), do you continue to berate "pseuds" lke we're Stalinists from the 1950's?
