No. And how is Israel the only democratic nation in the ME if Iraq has an elected government?
I guess youre one of those who think that material things are all that matter and that ideals dont.
What the heck does that even mean? Ideals are certainly important to me -- right here in the U.S. Anyone else can take them or leave them.

Iraq is considered ‘partly’ democratic by US-accepted indices. (I would consider it ‘marginally’, if not only ‘nominally’ so).
Are you a complete isolationist, or do you think it’s important to support countries who have proven that they are trying to grow toward the same rights, liberties, and value of the individual, that we have traditionally fostered in the US?
