If they had checked their hearts... 

...instead of yelling nay for the last few years, questions like the following wouldn't be necessary:

Every good human being knows democracy and freedom are right when they stop the useless invective and think for a moment... (Via Glenn Reynolds; "HEH" is right--hopefully more of the sweet taste of victory will caress our palates in the future as more in the world learn of freedom; But, I'm not gloating just yet...)

Here's a bit from the news story that accompanies the above image:
It is barely six weeks since the US President delivered his second inaugural address, a paean to liberty and democracy that espoused the goal of "ending tyranny in our world". Reactions around the world ranged from alarm to amused scorn, from fears of a new round of "regime changes" imposed by an all-powerful American military, to suspicions in the salons of Europe that this time Mr Bush, never celebrated for his grasp of world affairs, had finally lost it. No one imagined that events would so soon cause the President's opponents around the world to question whether he had got it right.
Read the whole thing, it's quite an elegant summary of the change in political climate concerning Bush and his policies.
