When President Bush led the drive to depose Saddam Hussein of Iraq he spoke more broadly of democracy in the Middle East. The media downplayed it (or mocked it). I was inspired by it and imagined with him the wonderful possibilities. Now, though it took longer than I thought, the idea has taken hold in what is now being called the “Arab Spring”. Not that it is at all surprising, but there has been no credit given to Mr. Bush’s vision of democracy in the region. This is just one man’s thank you to Mr. Bush on behalf of millions of non-Americans who should be grateful to the United States, its former president, and its sacrificial veterans for the beautiful opportunity they have been given.
