Was George Right?

"Iraqi democracy will succeed, and that success will send forth the news, from Damascus to Tehran, that freedom can be the future of every nation," George Bush 2003 http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/3248119.stm

    From my Feb 1 post of this year:

    Very shortly the Bush people will be pointing out that his policy of building democracy in Iraq has indeed started to yield the hoped for fruit of democratizing the Arab world.

    Very shortly the Obama people will be pointing out that his policy of greater openness in the Middle East has indeed started to yield the hoped for fruit of democratizing the Arab world.

    You seem to be ahead of both of them.

    Perhaps people walking in the middle of the road can see further than those on either side. Go Wayne!

    In 2003 I thought Bush was wrong.

    You don't have to be in the middle of the road to see that politicians will claim credit for anything that works out.

    But I like your thought.

    to Tom
    Yeah. I thought then that it was wishful thinking. It may turn out that you were right in 2003.
