This POV comes as no surprise when you consider Obama thinks he can ‘do Socialism’ better than other Socialists have.

There are also many ways to win “elections” – by manipulation, selective repression, media control, using patronage to buy votes, etc. Is the author writing about Middle East or American elections?

Obama doesn’t want to “tame” the savages -
He is the one who has been ecouraging them.
Post #4 has the answer.

Democracy is totally dependent on the morality of the people & their leadership.
The Middle East is devoid of morality, except perhaps, Israel. Immoral democracy will only add to the chaos.

“Western officials and experts generally and genuinely believe radical Islam cannot produce material results.
They believe the Islamists will have to water down their “impractical” beliefs to be effective in government. To remain in power they will gradually abandon their radical ideologies. In short, the Obama administration believes it’s got the Islamists where it wants them.”
Just like Hitler became milder and less ideological as he gained more and more power, finally becoming a benevolent old father who just loved everybody.
This administration’s pretty smart, aren’t they?

Uh, well the Nazis managed to get Hitler chosen as Chancellor of Germany when they won a plurality of legislative seats. The Bolsheviks participated in the legislature of Russia before their coup.
I guess that Liberals don't study history very well. But somehow, college history department faculties are rife with them.
