I'm watching a press conference with
and
Tony Blair is telling us what the Iraqi people want. How Mr. Blair comes by his expertise on the aspirations of the people of Iraq is unknown to me.
In fact, considering the state of governance in former satrapies of the British Empire, I do not believe the British government can lay claim to any expertise whatsoever as regards the inculcation of Democratic ideals anywhere or anytime. Consider: Sudan, Burma, Palestine, Afghanistan. What hath England wrought? Heck, how about Iran and Iraq? I sometimes suspect the continuous English meddling is due to a guilty conscience about the state they left their former empire in.
As for the President in Washington, I do not know if he was MIA from his Guard unit, but I suspect he was MIA from his civics classes in school. Or, perhaps at Phillips Prep they confused him with the difference/similarity between plutocracy and democracy. You, Mr. President, should be banned from even saying the words freedom and democracy! Until you have read the United States Constitution, at least.
You should be quiet, Mr. Blair; you and your colleague in the White house are giving democracy a bad name.
