Better shorter 

I think this (via Busy Busy Busy) could be improved. A better (and shorter) shorter of the Max Boot column would be :
The conventional wisdom is that Bush blundered by trying to spread democracy at gunpoint, whereas in fact Bush blundered by trying to spread democracy at gunpoint.
Ok, maybe this gives Max Boot too much credit, since he doesn't clearly repudiate the democracy-at-gunpoint plan. But it sure has a nice ring to it. It also has the advantage of being somewhat true, if you are willing to look beyond the birth pangs phase.
