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.

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.

Do you have any proof of that? I'd love to see it.

As for your second paragraph, that is your opinion. It still does not change the fact that George Washington wasn't sure a republican form of government would work here, making many things of your article irrelevant.
