The press is abuzz with a seemingly unthinkable suggestion -- was George W Bush right all along?
From the New York Times to the Economist, questions are being raised over whether the Iraq war has triggered a wave of political and social reform across the Middle East.
But before we all get too carried away, the front page of today's Independent urges caution.
The Independent's leader writer says:
"Such an interpretation may be seductive - but it is self-serving, dangerous and, above all, wrong. The connection between the invasion of Iraq and the faltering steps towards democracy in parts of the region is tenuous at best."

Why is it "unthinkable" that Bush and his team made the right appraisal of foreign policy ?
The guy is obviously dumb enough to stuble into a way of winning 2 elections, the last in a sweeping fashion. It is obviously remiss of the US electorate not to kowtow to the superior knowledge of the Euroweenies and fellow-travellers.
Try studying his speeches. After all - there are four more years. You may as well try to wise up on what he has been saying clearly and consistently over the past 3 or more years. You may not like his tone or manner - but hey - he is after all the leader of the western world. Or are you on some other side ?
