"President Bush used his State of the Union speech to press home key domestic and international agendas. At home he promised to reform Social Security for future generations. Looking overseas, Bush vowed to spread freedoms around the world while continuing the war on terror, and he pointed to Iraq as a symbol of change."
I wouldn't put Iraq on a pedistal jsut yet, or even at all... ever. If spreading freedom and democracy is going to cost us as a country 7 billion dollars a day... I, as a tax payer, say fuck that.
Unfortunately it looks like Iran is next even before Iraq is even starting shape up.
