You just have to read it very carefully. The U.S. doesn't <i>"tend to divide people up"</i>. That's what makes us different from all other foreign invaders. We bring people together. We're liberators. Everyone loves liberators. Take Iraq, for example. Too many people are just plain negative, focusing only on the thousands killed and the tens of thousands of wounded without taking into account that those U.S. soldiers willingly and proudly sacrificed themselves so that Iraqi people could reap the benefits of a warm U.S. friendship. We all need to learn to be a little happier about the way the U.S. handles its relationships with Middle Eastern threats so we don't have to relive these same petty anxieties every single time we attack another country over there.

He just doesn't understand that Sharia law is a very firmly rooted system in the Middle Eastern countries, and it is not entirely compatable with a "democratic" system. Really one of the only ways to establish "democracy" in Iraq would be to eradicate some of the very foundations of Islam (or at least to reform them in significant ways...and this doesn't even begin to address the issue of dictators rising to power in some of the poorer countries). When will this all be over?
