One of the views of the Gulf War was that we should have enforced the no fly zone in the south to prevent Saddam Hussein from putting down a popular rebellion there. The fantasy was that the popular rebellion would have led naturally to an enlightened, democratic government.So you buy my conclusion that the Iraq war was about trying to spread democracy in the Middle East? I *know* you are my age. Did you vote for Bush in 2000? Aren't you a Republican? If this spreading Democracy was not what you wanted from a Republican administration, did you then vote for Kerry in 2004 (who did run on ending the Iraq debacle) or Bush? If Bush, why?
