You are right. There was no momentum. I don't disagree that Iraq may have played a part in the mix. I am not, however, convinced that it wouldn't have happened regardless of the invasion of Iraq. I would say that consecutive US administrations, including Bush and Obama, have done more over the years to squash reform in the middle east by helping to prop up these dictatorships. Bush paid a lot of lip service to democracy, but I don't think it was anything more than window dressing.
