We don't have the right to transform other nations. Don't you understand that? This is why the rest of the world calls Americans arrogant.

The only progress I see in the Iraq is for the terrorists in neighboring countries who went there to fight against the US forces. Before, they had to come all the way to the US to attack Americans. Now they just have to plant a roadside bomb.

If the Middle East has problems, most are a result of longterm Western meddling. Bush has committed the most damaging form of meddling by invading a sovereign nation there and trying to set up a puppet government.
