[In veno, veritas]

You should know the intent of the words by common usage, as example the title of your article. I'd really doubt Bush wants a mobocracy anywhere. If you want to get that technical, you're a liberal just like nearly every other American. Conservatives support a monarchy.

No, I do not think he wants a mobocracy, anywhere. But I do not think he understands how one man/one vote works out in lands where the average IQ is markedly lower than that in those countries where participatory Government works best.

As for your references to Monarchy. Frankly, I think that a strong, principled Monarchy would have a far better chance of doing good things in Iraq, than what we seem to have instituted there. Certainly, any Conservative American would long for a return to the days of the Shah in Iran.
