Writes Joe Klein in Time: "The notion that we could just waltz in and inject democracy into an extremely complicated, devout and ancient culture smacked - still smacks - of neocolonialist legerdemain. The fact that a great many Jewish neoconservatives - people like Joe Lieberman and the crowd over at Commentary - plumped for this war, and now for an even more foolish assault on Iran, raised the question of divided loyalties: using U.S. military power, U.S. lives and money, to make the world safe for Israel. And then there is the question - made manifest by the no-bid contracts offered U.S. oil companies by the Iraqis - of two oil executives, Bush and Cheney, securing a new source of business for their Texas buddies."
