I would say that is shortsighted. Yes, anti Western governments may rise in some of these places, but people have to collectively make their own decisions and live with the consequences.
Losing Iran to Islamic fanaticism has been terrible in the short to mid term, but when that repressive regime finally folds we may end up with a genuinely pro Western government that we don't have to prop up to keep it in power.
The question here, at heart, is do you have any faith at all in Islamic people's to modernize and learn from their mistakes. This is a tough call. I don't have the answer. However, the only way we will find out is if Muslims begin making their own decisions about how to run their countries free of Western support for dictators and monarchs.
It may turn out very badly, but Beck's assumption that all of these protests in the Muslim world spell nothing but disaster is far more pessimistic than I think warrants.
You got to the heart of it. My answer to your question is that I have absolutely no faith that Islamic people will in large numbers modernize and learn from their mistakes. It’s an impossibility as long as they follow that satanic death cult of a religion.
