The biggest flaw with our War on Terror is that we assume giving people the right to vote for their leaders will make them more peaceful. What nonsense. Since Palestinians were given the right to vote, they have elected Hamas as their leadership – a terrorist organization with explicit goals to destroy the State of Israel. Of course, everyone with half of brain knew such a result would occur except for the usually dimwitted Condi Rice and her equally clueless followers at State. Now, we have an Iraqi journalist expressing his newfound freedom of speech by throwing his shoe at President Bush and the only person Bush can blame for this lunacy is himself. Be careful what you wish for, Mr. President. Democracy and First Amendment freedoms are not for everyone. The world is not once size fits all. This is the neocons’ biggest failing among many.

Your real dedication to getting the message all-around had become incredibly advantageous and has empowered women much like me to achieve their targets.
