I dont watch much television, but I just saw the most remarkable thing on MSNBC. While they were interviewing some expert as to whether or not he thought Bush really meant that he would, if he could, have Hussein assasinated, there flashed on the screen various coups or attempted coups by the US government: 1953 in Iran, The Bay of Pigs invasion, Chile, Grenada, etc etc. It's interesting how far the idea that the US has the right to intervene for "democratic" purposes has penetrated into the mindset of Americans. This was quite brazen. It was as though they were saying, "Look, we have done this before, and sometimes it worked."
