I can't believe you heard that crap on FR! Anyway, you're a good person for letting it move you to . . . uncontrolled laughter.
Iraq is going to completely change the course of history in the Middle East---and it's all Bush's fault (along with our fantastic troops).
And it's aleady begun. Shortly after the first election in January 2005, Kuwait started relaxing its Islamic grip on its people and eventually even women were granted the right to vote. Other countries in the region began looking at reforms that granted more freedom to its citizens.
Only Iran and Saudi Arabia seem to be resisting the move forward now.
