Um.. I don't think we're supposed to be nation building, we're tasked by the Bush Administration to bring Democracy. Or Find WMD, or Depose Saddam and Bring Him to Justice. Whichever explanation you want to follow. They're kind of interchangable when you're in lockstop with current right wing propaganda.
In fact, Bush said in debates during the 2000 campaign that he would never engage in "Nation Building." Of course, G.W. is what I like to call "Truth Challenged."
We never talk about Peace in Iraq, why is that? When you hold an entire nation hostage and you demand that they accept your brand of government and you never even let the other side in on the discussion, are you any better than a terrorist? What is democracy if the voice on the other side of the aisle is never heard from, never allowed to speak?
What's the difference between watching Geo. Bush run his war and watching a chimp use a stick to knock down a banana? You know the monkey is learning.
