What we can learn from the article is this: there is no single political, social, or economic concept work without looking at the context, at least not in the short term. Pushing democracy on places where terrorists can win the majority votes is recipe of killing the democracy itself. Pushing free-market system on a society where majority has socialist and bureaucratic mind would result in a corrupt and chaos situation.

This doesn't mean we should just do nothing. It only means that we should think and try harder to understand the social, political, and economic structure of a society before pushing an idea. Also, perhaps we sometimes we need to take gradual approach that will not yield in a short term but can only be enjoyed in long term.

So you strongly disagree with this article then? After all, it advocates crushing islamic totalitarianism.
