“A whole lot closer than they ever have been. I’d say, let it be. You can’t force grass to grow. Democracy is a process.”

Do not forget what you are dealing with here,They put the Islamic snake in their constitution for craps sake,They needed to be “Encouraged” to “Think” Properly, on their own Never happen,I see Iran taking that place over.

It could happen, but I’ve seen plenty of encouraging signs that it won’t. The US taking over and forcing things down their throats is not the way either.

Thanks. Good article. "Nothing about this will be pleasant for Israel, which may suffer considerable damage from Hezbollah rockets in the event of another northern war. In that event, Israel will have the opportunity to fight, and win decisively. I do not wish war on anyone, but it is worth bearing in mind that nothing wins like winning. An Israeli military victory would do more to discredit the Islamists in the Arab world than all the elections in the world.

But they were led, and they made some good steps. I wouldn’t bet the farm that they’ll degenerate down to abject savagery again. But then again, you’ve been there. I hope you’re wrong.

Bush elevated them (in his head)to a modern society,the truth is they are 7 century savages with Automobiles,No way in hell would I want these for Neighbors,Some of them there is NO cure they will say the course and continue the savagery Like Sadr who should have been capped LONG ago.

I saw what they did in Kuwait,There is but one thing they understand,Force!!

Rules of Western society are regarded as Weakness.
