In the long run, absolutely. In the short run, no, it's going to be brutal and barbaric.
I've spent more than a long weekend in the middle east. I get it. The reason Islam retains such a stranglehold on the mind of the average Mo is because it's the only thing that survives government oppression. Largely U.S. backed oppression, at that.
The only ones in that region that are progressing past it are the Iranians. Sure, it took them 30 years, and they're not through the woods yet. But they're the only ones who will be better off in 20 years than they are today.
It's either that long, bitter road to individual nation recovery, or a shapeless, perpetual global insurgency, fueled by our dollars on both ends.
Look, it’s your perspective that a terrorist organization in a position of power that does Syria’s bidding is a sign of regional improvement. That actually astounds me.
I understand your logic trail, but for me there are so many breakdowns in it that I cannot adopt it as my own.
If your vision were to come to pass, Lebanon, Jordan, Yemen, Egypt, and Tunisia would be led to Hezbollah fellow travelers.
No, that’s not a transition to enlightenment. It’s a transition to hell.
Thanks for the comments.
