Democracy doesn't just consist of holding elections.

America has never seen itself as a national state like all others, but rather as an experiment in human freedom and democracy.

Saddam's ouster will not necessarily lead to the same result, since Iraq lacks democratic traditions. Democracy doesn't just consist of holding elections.

But there is scant evidence to tie Saddam to terrorist organizations, and even less to the Sept. 11 attacks.

It is beyond dispute that Saddam Hussein is a menace.

After all, we didn't bring democracy to Germany in 1945; Hitler destroyed democracy there first.

My point was that removing Saddam should not have been our highest priority. Fighting terrorism should have been our number one concern, followed by the Palestinian peace process.

Generosity is not only about money. There is more than one currency. Let your generosity be pervasive in life.
