"There are men, in all ages, who mean to exercise power usefully; but who mean to exercise it. They mean to govern well; but they mean to govern. They promise to be kind masters; but they mean to be masters." Daniel Webster

Neocon Welshes on Bet

David Henderson posts about how back in 2003, after the United States invaded Iraq, someone bet him that by September 2008 three Middle Eastern countries that were not then democracies would become Democratic by September 2008 because of the ripple effects of the U.S. "democratizing" Iraq.

It didn't work out that way, and when Henderson tried to collect, the woman not only denied having made the bet, she said no one could have foolish enough to make such a bet.
