Score another one for Bush

TKS features this line in a quote from Walid Jumblatt, patriarch of Lebanon's Druze community "and, until recently, a man who accommodated Syria's occupation":, "I was cynical about Iraq. But when I saw the Iraqi people voting three weeks ago, 8 million of them, it was the start of a new Arab world."

Oh, dear. That wasn't supposed to happen, was it? Al Jazeera and Al Arabia showed the voting and, I assume, the violence of the terrorists, and the Arab Street decided that if Iraqis could be brave, so could they.
