Billmon: Democracy or Empire?

Tapped takes note of a new op-ed from Larry Diamond, one that reminds us how little we know about the Cheney administration's true motives for invading Iraq -- or what its intentions there are now.

Diamond was a senior political adviser to Bureaucrat Man (aka Jerry Bremer) and the ill-fated Coalition Provisional Authority (aka the RNC branch office on the Tigris) from January to April of 2004, when he quit (in disgust?) to return to his regular gig as a fellow at the right-wing Hoover Institution at Stanford.
