Installing western style democracies in the Middle East is paternalistic,
patronizing and wrongheaded. Cutting through all the self-serving crap
about benevolence and liberation, there are only two reasons to put US
military in that region. The first is oil and the second is zionism, one
smacks of imperialism and the other of racism. The first best place to
install a western style democracy is in Palestine.
Ken Fortenberry

Democracy is not installed, Kenny. People have to choose that form of
government for their selves and actively put it in place. The Arab
countries of the Mid East are far from ready for democracy until they can
move away from the tribablism that exists today. The would-be-palestinians
are far from able to remove their corrupt leaders and select new ones who
are more concerned with building a nation than killing Jews and fattening
their own bank accounts.

Your apparent hatred of Israel blinds you to the realities of the region.
