Possibly no WMD, redefining "democracy".

In the latest act of the Iraq comedy, GW Bush admits there may not be any WMD in Iraq. Oh, well so much for the "legal" justification! Will Blair resign? Fat chance.

In another joke, Rumsfeld redefines the word "democracy". It's seems that Iraqis can vote for any kind of government they want, but certain governments won't be allowed "to happen" by the freedom-loving USA, the new imperial power in East Virginia, er, I mean Iraq. Presumably the only kind of democracy the USA likes is the kind that money can buy and the kind where a presidential candidate getting the most votes still loses the election.
