Democracy at gunpoint

Isn't that what is happening exactly - democracy at gunpoint? And to think this sort of forceful imposition of ones beliefs would be successful is the height of naivete. It is the same principle which many people think was the reason for the fall of the Soviet empire - America forced it. That can't be further than the truth. It collasped under the sometimes stifling effects of communism, and the rise of a visionary - Michael Gorvachov. And the same would inevitably happen in the middle east, unless US stops pursuing this policy of hatred. If you are not with us, and hate us, we will kill you - that is Bushism. Than what happens is, people who did not hate US, starts hating it. And it goes on. War has never solved any problem. And to go for this mass massacare in the 21st century brings tears to my eyes.

Thats why I was heartened to read a New York Times article about Kerry. He disagrees with the democracy-at-gunpoint doctrine. I have started liking him more, and even forgiven him for voting to give a mad man authority for war.
