-- For a long time, the west has been exporting its most evil ideologies and most disastrous economic policies to the middle east. Saddam is not Islamic fundamentalism, rather, Baathism is a mixture of Communism and Nazism. Even Bin Laden owes more to Heidegger than Mohammed, though he denies it.
The bush plan is to export our more desirable ideolgy and economic order, the order and ideology of the Glorious Revolution, by force, as we forced on Napoleon's france, Hitler's Germany, and Japan. Of course there is something rather self contradictory in attempting to export that program by aggressive imperial war, and the practical effect so far has been to make America less free, rather than Iraq more free, Perhaps a more subtle means would be more likely to succeed, but exporting that program by some means is a sound plan --digsig James A.
