You have not learned the lesson grasshopper. The lesson was about the acceptance of tyranny and despots, not about the invasion of Iraq.
Master, you have said that one day the student would be faster, quicker, stronger, smarter and wiser than the master and on that day, the student will become the master. That day has arrived.....
Clearly you have not yet learned that Iraq was not about tyranny, for if you knew you history, you would realize its never about tyranny with the US. Surely you should be aware of America's long history of befriending, supporting and even installing tyrants and despots. You, master, have not seen the slight of hand of the enemy.

You did not see the head fake of the previous president. He had people believing it was about tryranny, depots and weapons of mass destruction, when it was anything but. He had a much more cleaver scheme brewing that only the wise could see. He was diabolical in that his moves were about his presidential legacy. His neocon friends had convinced him that he could be remember as the great one: the one that changed the middle east forever, but turning out kings, shahs, sheiks and dictators and replacing them with the will of the people by starting a tsunami of democracy in Iraq.

This odd belief that Iraq, being one of the most educated, yet most repressed of the middle eastern countries would suddenly embrace democracy... and this it would be so successful that dictators, kingdoms and tyrants would give way to the will of the people. Though noble; it was terribly naive. Instead, the hornets nest was kicked and.... well, we are still fighting hornets.
