The following is another answer of mine from Yahoo! Answers. It is a favorite! It explains things the media don't want you to realize so that they can continue to paint them as the "invaders" such as the media want the world to see them. It was sad to see how many of the other answers were from people who have "bought" this pap that the media love sharing with us on the 1830 daily news shows.
Israel WANTS another democracy in the neighborhood! That's all. Thanks to Bush's foresight, it gets TWO: Iraq AND Afghanistan! Afghanistan is to be the TRUE democracy. We invaded Iraq and threw out Saddam to get an oil-funded allied democracy in the neighborhood who would HELP Afghanistan should Iran decide to lash out at it. The LAST thing the Iranian leadership want to see is nacent democracies sprouting up around Iran's borders!
Iraq WAS the lowest-hanging fruit on the Tree of Terrorism. So we picked it (got rid of Saddam) and installed a representative democracy there, but this is the LAST thing the Iranian leaders care to see!
Do you know why? This would lead Iran's people to look over the borders, see these democratically-represented people living and thriving under their democracies doing things of which the Iranians could only DREAM, and convince the Iranians that THEY can do this for themselves too!
The icing on the cake would be to see a revolution like this described in Iran happening in a place like Saudi Arabia! Were SA to fall to democracy, THAT would be a crowning achievement, and you would see a democratic congress evaporate on the 1830 news THAT day! The media would go apoplectic (sp) were this to happen. THIS may be why the dims want the presidency so much, so that they can take "credit" for it were it to happen in the next four years.
The issue is that the wahabi (sp) mullahs in Saudi Arabia aren't going to preach this to their people. They prefer to side with the ruling family and preach that the devil resides in democracies, and getting the money from the ruling family for preaching these "beliefs" doesn't hurt the mullahs, either.
The ONE drawback to this is that these democratic revolutions WON'T be bloodless! Many people are going to DIE, but the mullahs will get tossed out on their (r)ears, and the extremists with whom they like to associate will evaporate as quickly as spit in the desert sands.
It is the media who blame Bush for the war. They want as much of the public to be "against" the war and they will do whatever they can to illustrate this by inflating poll results to convince those sitting on the fence that it is a lost cause.
