Arabs are not Anglos.
You state the non-sequitor "Arabs are not Anglos."
in response to
"Democracy, human rights, and rule of law would be good places to start."
... as if it at all pertinent.
You think the non-anglo world can't benefit from Democracy, human rights, and rule of law?!?
Lebanese are too dark-skinned to be able run their own country?!? So how come an Alawite baathist dictator gets to run that country?
No - only that Lebanon does have 500 years of Anglo-Saxon common law like the 13 colonies did/ I could also have said that Lebanese are not Greeks - and have zero experiance in democracy as well. They had some democracy when the French left but that did not last long.
