What's wrong with Jordan, their leader King Assad (is that his name?) seems highly intelligent and a very forward looking man. Do they have a history of terrorizing other peoples or nations? Just like our presence in Japan immediately following WWII, we need to try to help institute democratic institutions in these countries to the best of our ability. That is our best hope, once we've settled this score, for a secure America and world.

Musilums can never have a democratic government. The Koran does not allow for it!

I agree.

The vast majority who comprise the moderate population in the middle east don't want the bin laden type extremist opposition in their part of the world any more than we want them in our part of the world. The best hope is, in fact, to keep the moderates in power in some combination form of parlimentary/monoarchy/democracy that will give the local populations the mandate to extinguish all the radical faction threats.

When the natives are empowered to exterminate the threat of the extremists in their back yard, we won't have to.
