I disagree with your comments on democracy and freedom. If you believe in natural rights, you would champion the cause of freedom for everyone.

You are correct, though, that benevolent dictatorship is better than nothing.

My daddy told me that there are only two routes to order in society, a police state, or individual self discipline.

Most of the ME has been under mohammed's curse for far too long to be changed by external force, they just dig in, freedom is inconceivable to them.
