If a free election were held in Iraq today, the secular Iraqis would vote for Saddam, the Muslims would vote for an extremist leader. No matter how you slice it, democracy wasn't meant to be in Iraq. Westerners have a pathological dislike of dictatorships simply because they love the illusion that democracy gives them. They foolishly believe themselves free and in power when in truth they are often just as powerless as those living under a dictatorship. How can you free another nation when the shackles are around your own limbs?
