Some people can't see past their own noses.
"Democracy" is an idea, a concept. Sure someone could sit down and draft a "Plan to introduce Democracy into the Middle East". The exercise of doing such planning would be worthwhile. But to dismiss a big idea because nobody has trotted out the timetable, bill-of-materials, and schedule of payments is typical of the short-sightedness that plagues our diplomatic "experts". No one could conceive of winning the Cold War until Reagan. Now the same inertia is assumed to preclude freeing the Middle East. Typical plodding analysis paralysis. Left to its own devices, Washington DC would collapse under its own weight.
