"Was this the reason all along and the Iraqi threat only a ruse to mobilize support for war? Or is the universal-democratization discourse an attempt to put a positive spin on a big mistake?"

2. Next it will be: Bush Dictatorship = American Democracy

"If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier... just so long as I'm the dictator."

If a dem president ever said that, they'd be crucified! Drawn & quartered, then crucified.

3. Be reasonable. We expect sanity from Democrats.

That's not a requirement for Republicans.
