I took out Greeley's gratuitous insults against Bush, so the main points of his argument could be read without that distraction. He's arguing that democracy with Western-style bill of rights can't be grafted onto the cultural stock of the Arab Muslim middle east. Instead, Iraq will end up, again, with strong-man, one-party or one-religion rule.

Perhaps, but Bush has said from the beginning that Democracy in Iraq wouldn't look like the U.S., so he's telling us stuff we already know.

And he gets paid to do this?
