Looking at the current situation in the middle east; Libya, Bahrain, Egypt, Tunisia, soon Saudi....   people want democracy and are fighting for it. The Hawks knew and acted upon it.

True visionaries.

Discuss.

 I gotta totally disagree on that.

 Of course everyone wants democracy. Everyone on earth wants it. Almost nobody who lives in a totalitarian shithole wants it to be that way. So that's a given.

 And of course the Hawks didn't give a shit about bringing democracy to the Middle-East. They were just doing what benefitted themselves and their parties short term future.

 The Hawks don't want democracy in the middle east. They just want leaders over there who will play ball with the US. "Democracy" is a euphemism for that.

Maybe if we had waited 8 years the Iraqis would've overthrown Saddam themselves.

The cost of American lives and debt was not worth liberating the Iraqis.

I highly respect H.W. Bush so believe me when I say it's hard to say W. Bush is the worst president in American history.  His decisions cost this country dearly.
