You know I like the guy cept for his baby killing tendencies, but "Democracy and freedom have been ascendant in most parts of the world for at least the last 15 years, and it's hard to imagine that they aren't also destined to take root in the Middle East"?
This makes me want to vomit. This number was picked out of thin air so people could think "and a Democrat was president for 8 -- the majority-- of those years!".
You want freedom and democracy, you better include Reagan. Other than this utterly despicable lack of thought on his part, the article is sorta okay.
