Mr. Dictator, let your people vote
I like to see stories like this. This is what I elected Bush to do. To get tough on the sources of terrorism: Syria, Iran, Egypt and Saudi Arabia. David Brooks has an Editorial comparing the fall of Communism with the spread of democracy in the middle east. Bush doesn't have the eloquence of Reagan, but through his actions of bringing about elections in Afghanistan and Iraq, he has issued a parallel call across the middle east: "Mr. Dictator, let your people vote."
The war on Iraq was justified with WMD, but I always felt that the primary benefit of attacking Iraq would be to break the status quo in the middle east. There is a recent Colin Powell interview which discusses the motives of regime change versus WMD.
