I've always been so baffled with this "spreading democracy around the world" thing that has been coming up lately..of course we all know when Bush presented this war it had nothing to do with that....but he had to come up with a nice catch phrase...
"Spreading democracy around the world..." does that mean that we will turn in to Hitler II and bomb every country that does not believe the same way we do ? It's ludacris... So what about our allies who do not have democracies? Will we attack them? Will we attack Saudi Arabia? Will we attack China as well? What gives here? And WHY WHY WHY are people buying this crap??
I never thought I'd see the day when Bush supporters tout his illegitimate policies by using his own quotes lol....I was discussing the war at college the other day with someone and I said "well why do you agree with this war?" and he said "i agree with spreading democracy around the world." Hhaha... I said "was that your stance before the war ever began, before it was spoken of, did you tell people 'you know I think we should spread democracy around the world' ?" and of course no, when Bush and his admin. started talking this stuff up, is where he first got it, and first started "believing in it." He didn't care less about the Iraqi people in 1999
