The question is how to keep the republic in America and not how to change the whole world into a democracy.

"The question is how to keep the republic in America"

Quite true. We are not obliged to make those loser nations into democracies. But, if in the process of killing off the terrorists we also happen to make the middle east democratic to ensure stability and there by increase our security, then I think it is hilarious that the liberals, who normally are the ones so concerned about the well being of other nations and peoples all of a sudden have Bush to thank for advancing freedom, don't you agree?
