Or Country Music implying that the Middle East breads terrorists

and serves them with lemon wedges and a vegetable-rice medley on the side... with a nice Chianti... Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Apparently the Middle East is not alone. Been checking out the situation in Moscow lately?

and the best way to stop them is to create freedom and democracy in the Middle East,

Create?? Pish and tosh. Only the people who live there can create democracy, by practicing it. Create freedom? We can't do that either. Freedom has to be seized and possessed by the people who live there. We do not get the role of deus ex machina in this drama, even though the machina be a tank.

starting with the worst offender of human rights, Saddam.

Oh, I think the Chinese leadership could give him a run for his money! But we haven't invaded China since MacArthur tried it during the Korean War. Good thing, too...

Oh, and donâ€™t forget part of this Middle Eastern war includes Afghanistan.

Nope. That was a separate war, left unfinished. Everyone who showed up for that one but didn't show up for Iraq will tell you that.
