"Our commitment to democracy is also tested in the Middle East, which is my focus today, and must be a focus of American policy for decades to come. In many nations of the Middle East -- countries of great strategic importance -- democracy has not yet taken root. And the questions arise: Are the peoples of the Middle East somehow beyond the reach of liberty? Are millions of men and women and children condemned by history or culture to live in despotism? Are they alone never to know freedom, and never even to have a choice in the matter? I, for one, do not believe it. I believe every person has the ability and the right to be free."

Read the whole thing, its nothing but about bringing democracy to Iraq.
I hate arguing politics with you, I dont want my domains to somehow disappear one day.
I guess democracy in Iraq doesnt include freedom of the press.

Labret you try to have everything your way in debates. We both know what is on whitehouse.org, just like anything else from the White House is going to be POLITICAL, and thus have a spin.
The American people like to think when they fight wars they are liberating and bring democracy. ( the US has liberated more people and brought real economic and politcal reforms then any other nation - but this is an aside). We are in Iraq for OIL, STABILITY, and to fight the war on terror. If there can be some democratic movement and free markets open up, that would be nice - but its not the primary goal.
You should now better.
The big old meanie US does what it wants because it can. The US must look after its interests.
