Big Bang Goes Boom

The Bush administration's idea that the way to get peace ran through Iraq was what Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne Jr. called "the Big Bang" theory.

"Installing a democratic government in Iraq would force a new dawn. Newly empowered Muslim democrats would reform their societies, negotiate peace with Israel and get on with the business of building prosperous, middle-class societies," Dionne wrote of the Bush administration's plans.

So how's that working out? Un huh, just great. Well I'm sure the Republicans will want to review this during the upcoming election. Right. Or as Dionne describes the GOP's plan, For the next 3 1/2 months, they want the choice before the voters to be binary: staying the course and being "tough," or breaking with President Bush's policy and being "soft."

Must be nice to be able to demand that people not examine your competence in order to determine your fitness. Kinda like CEOs. You get paid a lot no matter how bad you are. Well Bush is called the CEO president.
