and millions of world-wide children so throw out logic to believe in the red-suited magical being that delivers toys to them each Christmas in a flying sleigh. Just wishing for the Mideast to become a democracy ignores the very cultural bias and history that will never allow that to happen in our lifetimes. Even if one can bring the illusion of democracy into the area as we did when we pushed the Shah of Iran into power, eventually the area and culture did him in and probably turned the country on a worse path than if we'd left it alone. Stop thinking short term. Our country has failed at every attempt at nation building and there's no reason to believe someone as ill-read as GWB is on world affairs can do any better. No matter how noble one's goals might appear I'd rather put my faith in someone that makes decisions based on logic and history instead of some blind faith.
