Now instead of strick, Islamic run states, those states may be crumbling and giving way to democracies. Way to go OBL!
Why do you think that people of ME love USA ? Fact that they would like to decide about their leaders doesnt mean that they will lick your butt. Most of them doesnt like US presence in ME, so once some "democratic" candidate will put "Fight agains US attempt to influence domestical politic" on his to do list, he will win. So you will never see demoracy in Pro-American countries in ME, like SA, Pakistan.
Do you remember, when students in Tehran went to the streets, what Bush said to them and how did they reply to him ?
Do you already have balls to take your passport and travell to place, where people love you ?
