I read the following comment on bbc.co.uk.
With the end of the Cold war the world seemed ready to embrace a new golden age of peace and prosperity. Instead we were left with the growing problems of developing societies practising religious and social intolerance. In essence whilst the Western democracies emerged into the 21st century as modern civilised nations, much of the world has remained in the Dark-ages. After waiting for so many years for these countries to pull themselves upwards, and with the growing evidence that due to ingrained differences this may well be impossible. Is it not now time that those with the capability, the experience and a belief in the benefits of a functioning democratic and tolerant society, take up their arms and rid (even at a cost) the world of these backwards dictators and religious fanatics that blight the Middle East, Africa and East Asia.
I wholeheartedly support this war, and can only hope that Mr Blair and Mr Bush realise that they have started something that possibly cannot be finished in Iraq. We must have the resolve to see this through to the end, only then can the World's people be united and truly at peace.

Is this how a common westerner think about the other parts of the world?
