Words Like Locusts Flew From Her Fingers

Democracy, Yes, But Not Our Kind of Democracy.

Salon.com | How do you like your democracy now, Mr. Bush?
But then when Bush was asked if the United States would end aid to the Palestinian Authority if a Hamas government was formed, he implied that it would, unless Hamas changed its platform, which opposes the existence of the state of Israel on the grounds that the territory belongs to the Palestinians. He said, “Well, I made it very clear that the United States does not support political parties that want to destroy our ally Israel, and that people must renounce that part of their platform.”

Talk about a classic example of “Watch what you wish for, you just might get it.”

Haven’t I said it over and over?

Insisting that all countries adopt Democracy is stupid.

I guess Bush believes in two kinds of Democracy: the good kind where “the people” elect rulers who do what WE want them to do, and the bad kind where “the people” elect rulers who do what THEY think is right.
