Freedom On The March (Cont.)

At what point will democracy reach <a href="http://www.voanews.com/english/2005-12-02-voa1.cfm">Egypt</a>? Or Saudi Arabia for that matter.

One thinks it might be easier to promote democracy in a country where we spend roughly $4 billion a year on aid and doesn't require an invasion costing $225 billion (and counting), 2,000 (and counting) fatalities, 15,000 wounded (and counting), and not to mention tens of thousands of dead foreign nationals.

Seems like our actions are at cross-purposes with our goals.
