You said that you bring democracy peacefully. And that the Mid East are waiting for you to bring it. Are they? Well?

Over 70% of Iraqi in the international poll that was taken supported the US bringing deomcracy to their country. The majority even supported the war. of course will probably be lower now that the terrorists are trying to take control - but that is the way things are. They see saw back and forth. We will see in 10 years whether we were right or not.

Oh, and the "useless UN", got you out of more than a few tight spots in the Cold War. Cuban missle crisis, anyone? Oh yeah... The UN is useless

They didn't get us out of the Cuban missile crisis - we resolved the Cuban Missile Crisis. It was the show of force and the fact that we didn't back down and the embargo of Cuba that turned those ships around and caused the Missiles to be packed up. All Kennedy did was use the UN to show that the Soviet Union was lying about having them there and to justify our actions. Otherwise the UN played no role in it.
