Guess who said this...?

"I think all foreigners should stop interfering in the internal affairs of Iraq," he said. "Those who want to come and help are welcome. Those who come to interfere and destroy are not."

U.S. Deputy Defense Secretary Paul D. Wolfowitz, that's who! No one could ever accuse the Bush team of practicing what they preach.

Wolfowitz was also quoted thusly in today's NY Times:

"You don't build a democracy like you build a house," Mr. Wolfowitz said over tea, honey pastries and water buffalo cheese. "Democracy grows like a garden. If you keep the weeds out and water the plants and you're patient, eventually you get something magnificent."

He forgot to mention the importance of fertilizer.
