If chimp boy is the reason for "democracy" spreading in the M.E.
Then I call on him to go to everyone of these countries to congratulate them and grant them a presence. Obviously if it is because of him, the people of each country will rise up and cheer for Bush like the people in West Germany did when JFK went. He should go to the public and shake their hand and listen to their thanks...and then we all wake up...What the f*ck is Lou Dobbs doing saying that the rise of "democracy" in the M.E. is because of Bush and his doctrine. Let's see Afghanistan is now opium land, most of the country is controlled by war lords, and the rime minister is at the whim of these war lords. Iraq is in chaos, there is no functioning government, no laws, people are dying everyday, and we are pretending it is a normal thing. Boy let me go there. Saudi Arabia alowed only a coupl;e hundred MALE citizens, I'm sure higher ups, vote, women still don't have that right and many others, and the King doesn't seem to be to interested in changing things. Libya is still controlled by a dictator, and isn't exactly preaching democratic values to the rest of its neighbors. And Egypt is still controlled by the military, there has been no real move to democracy, and the president still rules with absolute power. Libya is nice, but the only reason they are pissed is because of the diplomat who was assasinated. He is the face of their independence, not Bush, and if Bush even tried to go to Syria he would get mauled or shot. That is the reality and that is what we need to remind people. Especially f*ck wits like Lou.

1. Wait a minute...even the Heritage Foundation guy didn't say Bush did it
He said it was much more the result of local politics than anything Bush did. But, that was buried in the love-fest for Bush and how great his policies are working in the M.E.

Lou lost it tonight. Or at least, his producers got new gift baskets from Rove.
