look, i too am capable of being inspired by democracy, and i think there's a lot of sincere enthusiasm over there. but i know too that military occupation and democracy are ultimately incompatible. and looking at the "dancing in the street"-type scenes that fox and others are showing, i get a funny vibe of manufacture, of the sort so evident now when you revisit tape of "iraqis" spontaneously tearing down saddam's statue. so i'm wondering.
