Right on.
Now if they could only admit it openly. In the mean time, the argument is backtalk and gibborish, merely a dance around the real motive.
I also think there's a "greater-than-thou" attitude demonstrated by the US. Iraq is a dictatorship, ok, so what? Never mind that the people are mistreated, for a moment, and someone tell me why a dictatorship (in general) is (otherwise) a bad thing.
What few people realize is that the culture of these countries is intertwined with the form of government that it has: they're not as clearly seperated as they are within the US.
