Here’s a serious question from michael o ( michaelogorman@hotmail.com / ):
“Nice to find your blog. I’m always interested in a dialog with you because I think the anti-war movement needs to answer many of these questions – how to support democracy abroad, what do we do about despots like Saddam, etc. They are not easy answers and people like easy answers, slogans, etc.
“But one question about democracy, John, if we (the US) was serious about democracy why didn’t we ask for it in Kuwait after 1991? That is one of the most oppressive, non-democratic societies in the world to anyone who is not part of the oil-class.”
