In this administration, any Code, especially one of proper conduct, means absolutely nothing.
How about the Iraqi's taking care of their own country? It really isn't about spreading democracy or empowering another nation toward freedom anyway. It is simply a grand attempt for the U.S. to be big papa in the world. Bush & Co. claim it's a noble plan to spread freedom... but it's all hollow, because they don't mean a damn word. What they seek is control -- completely opposite of the entire concept of democracy. It is just plain WRONG.
