Iraq is NOT about "democracy" and "freedom". It never was.
Since every lie they have used to justify the mess in Iraq has flown in the face of "reality", they fall back on the higher principle of "building democracy"...

Give.Me.A.Break.

There is NO democracy in Saudi Arabia, why weren't they invaded? That's where the 9/11 hijackers came from....

2. I don't know
I find it pretty believable that President Bush and his followers naivly and arrogantly believed they could invade a country and set up Democracy with no negative effects.

As for why not Saudi Arabia, well, President Bush has a personal relationship with the Saudi royal families. Doubtless he believes things there are just fine.
