We have to say, though, that what happened in Iraq as a result of US involvment could have something to do with what has happened in Egypt. There could even be a snowball effect where the Iranian people and other non-free Moslem populations take to the streets and demand their freedom. What if it was suddenly unacceptable, anywhere on earth, to have dictatorships? If that happened, and it very well could happen with the instantly democratizing power of the Internet, some credit would have to go to the US military and the work it did in Iraq.
