Did you see Bush's press conference yesterday? He kept talking about governments that should respond to the "will of the people". Of course, he was refering to Iraq's government, and Lebanon's government. What a tool.
Yes, democracy for everyone, except us. And not really for anyone else either if we don't like the results. Bush's foreign policy rhetoric is so incoherent at this point I've sort of tuned him out.

I normally refer to it as the occupation of Iraq, but since this CNN poll (HT: Atrios) used the term "war" I'll use it in this case. Whatever you call it, it seems Americans don't like it by a pretty hefty margin: Just 35 percent of 1,033 adults polled say they favor the war in Iraq; 61 percent say they oppose it -- the highest opposition noted in any CNN poll since the conflict began more than three years ago.Now if only our political arena reflected this reality.
