Mr. Rumsfeld Compares Iraq to the Korean War

Re: Cost of Freedom for Iraq Similar to Bringing Democracy to Others

While he makes a good Wilsonian argument, it is nonetheless not America's calling to bring "democracy" to the world. [After all, the United States itself was not founded as a democracy but as a republic.]
    "America does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She is the champion only of her own." - John Quincy Adams,1821
