"Watch what you wish for regarding democracy. The Iranian people overhelmingly want to have nukes."
That's been one of my concerns about the whole "democracy" emphasis in our policy toward the Middle East. It's easy to get most of a population dreaming of greater and greater power, ala Pakistan or Iran. Massed millions of Islamo-fascists obsessed with nuclear weapons can be a lot more dangerous than a few autocrats who can (sometimes) be killed, deposed, threatened, etc. Democracy is not the panacea many seem to think, when dealing with cultures which have never known it and do not share a whole cluster of other related values...... (and let's not forget Hitler's Germany - although the Nazis never got more than 1/3 of the vote before they created a dictatorship, they certainly became increasingly popular in Germany throughout the '30s and into the 40s, not that anyone could successfully challenge them in electoral terms, but a large majority of Germans in 1940 would have enthusiastically embraced nuclear weapons for the Nazi state).
Well put and I agree except for one quibble. There is no such thing as "Islamofascism". That's a term made up by neocons who are too cowardly to criticize Islam. Islam's bad enough. In order for an ideology to exist, you must find adherents who identify themselves as such. You will never find someone claiming to be an Islamofascist.
