Democracy is a worthy goal, but look at how well the US imposition of it is doing in Iraq, especially when we previously had a compliant tyrant named Saddam.

Sadly, that's exactly what it's looking like to me.
Israel is now inside of Iran's box.
Where does that leave the US with all of the altrusistic dreams of establishing democracies in the Middle East? Hmmmm...and how many American military will pay with their lives before the "leaders" realize that fact?
You are allowed to have the dreams. What "we" do is changed by people like you and I. We are the US DTS. So get yourself into a political office.

I listened to NPR the other day and they told this story about a middle Eastern ruler that would incarcerate(sp?) anyone who imagined he was dead.
"We" cant pawn this off on anyone but ourselves. No Reps this, Demo's that stuff.
