For that reason, a number of Jihad organizations have surfaced in countries that have never had such organizations; Kuwait, Syria, Southern Arabia and Iraq are just a few. While the majority of his speech centered on discrediting Bush and his administration for what he has 1 done, and is doing, wrong, Benjamin did say Bush had the right idea for ultimately desiring democracy.
