Who are Americans to Shove Democracy on Folks?

This op/ed by Michael Ignatieff "Who are Americans to Think that Freedom is Theirs to Spread?" is great to read against the backdrop of the Bush speech. Realistically, we as a nation have to ask ourselves "who are we to shove democracy down other people's throats?" Let's face it... a gift stops being being a gift when it turns into an obligation, and you cannot force someone to accept a gift-- especially an unwanted and obligatory gift. But when- if ever- will Bush, the Neo-Cons, and the Red Staters realize this?
