A possible Bob Newhart routine:


All right boys and girls, we are here to bring you democracy! What’s that, you do not want democracy? You liked Saddam?

Why not give democracy a chance? You will? Only if women, Kurds, Shiite Muslims and Christians are not allowed to hold office or vote? Only Sunni Muslims who are males should be allowed to vote? And those running for political office should be similar in behavior to Saddam?

But that will mean that nothing will have changed! Oh, you liked things the way they were.

Mr. President, the Iraqis have voted for Saddam regardless of if he is alive or dead. Do you think it is time we came home?
