The reason that makes the most sense, and is provable, is this is all based on a document Paul Wolfowitz and others wrote around 10 yrs ago.

However, folks like Brent Scowcroft are saying that Wolfowitz is a very smart man, but incredibly nieve to think that the US could step in and easily create a democracy.
