I disagree on one important point:

Elections aren't likely to make any difference in these tribal Islamic cultures. If anything, they are likely to make things worse.

That's exactly the point in Iraq. The leadership that is popular with the people is often incompatible with a modern civil government.

overcoming those tribal cultures is to show the young that minorities are protected by laws, not a majority religious belief
