And you can now see how the Dem's are providing comfort to the enemy. The turmoil here, is mirrored to uninformed populous of the Arab nations.
The Arab people don't understand how the Democratic process works since most of them are ruled by 1 person for his life. Our process rotates and allows a truly bad position to be modified or reversed. To them the only change is a violent change of "overthrowing" a Leader.

Our system also allows good positions to be modified or reversed. That's the problem. It is difficult to maintain necessary but unpopular long-term strategies in democratic countries. The Cold War was the exeption, and that wasn't even that unpopular given the absence of active combat. And Carter almost lost it for us.
