"Unless one would prefer Osama bin Laden, or someone else with like believings as their leader."

I laugh every time I see or hear this line of reasoning. It's the contemporary version of "Kill 'em all let god sort them out" (a prophecy of sorts attributed to the 101st in Vietnam, which appears to have come back to haunt them in Iraq, where Allah certainly is sorting out the 101st).

Ah DougR, can you present any reasonable thinking person with a scenario where Osama bin Laden, or Saddam Hussein, or a resurrected Ayatollah Khomeini perhaps, becomes leader of the very unfree (not to mention VERY expensive) capitalist spree world?

Via an election stolen by the brother of the "winning" candidate in the Banana Republic of Florida, and enforced by the judicial arm of government appointed for life by, among others, the candidates father and their cronies perhaps?

Now, a show of hands from those who think we'd really be any worse off being ruled by Hussein or bin Laden cartels, than we are by the Bush cartel?
