Bush's Mid-East strategy is revolutionary and it is working.
This is bigger than Nixon and China.

Democracy in Arab countries is an oxymoron. That concept will go down in flaming defeat.

Nothing but hot air in my opinion. These dictators will not give up their terrorism nor their regimes.
For one, democracy for them will mean more rights for Muslims. Non-muslims will still have no rights and be repressed.
I will believe it when I see it.

"Arab foreign ministers Monday endorsed the concept of democracy and human rights in a document prepared for an Arab summit expected to take place in Tunis this month, the Algerian foreign minister said.
The document also mentions human rights and the role of women and said this was "in conformity with our beliefs, values and cultural traditions." It does not mention democracy. "
So do they endorse it or not?

Makes sense, I mean if the Arabs want to destroy Israel the best way is to make nice with America for 5 or 6 years. Show signs of change. Make demands of Israel that Israel refuses and get us on their side.
Hey we have our military already over there. Once we have a President in office who has no religous reason to support Israel why would we help them?
Right now they are the only democracy going over there. If Iraq, Iran, Egypt, Saudi Arabia decide to change to "democratic gov'ts" also ,what would be our reason to support Israel.
Christians may want to for religous reasons but why would a Kerry or Clinton want to?

Big F'ing Deal....
This "document" with Arabs is worthless and unenforceable..
Nothing will change at the hands of Arabs...
The only change will come after the destruction of Militant Islam...
Semper Fi

I'm reminded of the old Life cereal commercial:
"You try it"
"You go first."
"I ain't gonna try it. You try it."
All we need to do is find a Mikey to try it first.
