This would start a domino effect that would make all the other Muslim countries want to be democracies, too. They would climb over each other to be democracies. They would love us because democracies love each other. He just knew it. This makes perfect sense if you have no flipping idea how human beings work.

Yes, because after WW2, Germany just POP! became a perfect Democracy.

Bush never said it would be easy--this guy is creating a paper tiger to demolish. What Bush is doing is holding the line--if this guy heard Bush say this would all be over in a couple of weeks, I wish he'd cite when Bush said so.

I seem to recall the President saying this would be a long, difficult road. This guy apparently needs to get his radio/TV repaired. When the "conservatives" start to whine that "I want it over NOW! I'm TIRED of this!" we are in trouble.

Bush never said it would be easy-

True but he should never have gone over there on the carrier with or without the MISSION ACCOMPLISHED sign

What he should have done is state from the bully pulpit that the first stage of the war, defeating Saddam was finished , but there would be much hard work and times ahead in Iraq

The reason he didn't was because he didn't think what has/is occurring would happen IMHO
