The Occasional Observer

As the world mulls over the meaning of the election in Iran, whether it was legitimate or fraudulent, and the severe violence in the aftermath, I can't help but contrast that with another country in the region that had relatively peaceful, open and honest elections recently. Iraq.

Whereas liberals love to sit on the sideline and bemoan the tragedy that is the possibly fraudulent "democratic election" in Iran, under Bush's leadership we implemented TRUE democracy in Iraq. Open elections, monitored by the outside, with clean results. The true will of the people.

Feeling bad and imposing sanctions and writing op-eds will never help anyone. Action is what helps people, and liberals still don't get that.

I just wonder how many months or years of continued belligerent behavior by N. Korea and Iran, while under the "new change" of Obama + Pelosi + Reid, will be required before liberals and the MSM understand that the actions of those countries were NOT a response to or reflection of Bush's policies. Rather, it was their inherent character and position, and it was only through Bush's policies that we could make a change.
