Quote from MondoTrader:
a thread warning about the demise of democracy, started by someone who doesnt even Believe in Democracy ! HA ! You get funnier by the minute ! Massive public approval for everything that you believe is evil , how do you deal with that? You say "democracy has failed". Some people are so brainwashed that when faced with an obvious truth they will say that someone is trying to con them. It is an obvious truth that getting rid of Sadam is a good deed for the world.
Keep Sadam and you are in bed with a snake. Bush wants to kill the snake, and the french are saying "its not such a bad snake, lets negotiate with him".
Get rid of Sadam and you have a chance at democracy in the middle east. ( although I have actually heard liberals say that the middle easterners are "not fit" for democracy, one of the most racist things I have ever heard ).
Democracy in Iraq (immediately after Saddam) might be dangerous Mondo. If you look at the way our public's feelings are molded by the media (and we're suppossedly the educated ones), just think of how a population of people with a third grade education will react to propaganda.
Everyone, including the French, agrees that getting rid of Saddam is a noble goal, but you have to see that without a plan that incorporates large amounts of education and financial assistance, we'll be back in the same situation in 20 years. The current administration doesn't have the patience or ability to rebuild the Middle East. We will need broad international help in the long run. And I don't mean from Angola, Bulgaria, Albania, and the lesser Antilles.
