The democratization of the Middle East

The policy of bringing democracy to the Middle East, the dream of the President, is in tatters. Please read this.

It doesn't look like a very successful policy to me! In the years since 9/11, rather than bring democracy to the Middle East, we have helped to spread Islamism there!

Isn't it about time the President changed curse? Oops! Shouldn't that be course?

"Choosing" the Muslim Brotherhood is similar to voting for representation by the Mafia or, as in the Soviet style, the "choice" of the Party or...the Party...and you better show up to "vote!"

Yes, crazy, isn't it? But give these people half a chance to vote, and they'll vote for the introduction of Shariah law and more Islam.

President Bush forgot a few important things when he decided to embark on his mission to democratize the Middle East, one of them is that democracy depends on a relatively well-educated electorate.
