Actually, what I stated has held up. W wants to increase stabilty in the Middle East through democratization, and western influence. It hasn't worked (smugly). In fact, the middle east is less stable than it was before the invasion of Iraq.
I said my post may have been pointless. Let me rephrase, and say it may not have been germane to the thread. It had a point, which was Bush Bashing. It felt good to say it at the time, and created a feeling of warm, smug cameraderie amongst us True Beleivers.
