Political leaning my ass. The only thing that is showing is that you're some kind of nutbar who doesn't live in reality. You have the balls to point to call out Cuba for their "imprisonment" of what they viewed as threats to their national security, but you mention nothing of the thousands of detainees the United States have in custody after 9/11, both domestically and foreign. Interesting double standard.
As for HOPING democracy takes hold, I think we all hope that. But we also respect the rights of Iraqis to chart their own course and believe they don't need the involvement of the American government to chart that course. There is the difference. American democracy is broken and is NOT the model to be used in other countries. We recognize that, its time you woke up to that fact.
BTW... I'm still waiting for you to comment on all the issues I beat the **** you with. When are you going to teach us all about democracy? How did it work in Japan? How did it fail in Central and South America? Waiting for the "education" from you professor.
