You only have to look back one week to see what your logic would deliver wherever tried in the Middle-East and across Africa.
The most well funded and organized players would prevail.
You have heard of Lebanon. How did open Democracy work out up there?
Hezbollah is now forming a new government up there. Is that the remedy you see for Jordan, Egypt, Yemen, and Tunisia.
Do you really think that eventuality would work out best for the world, would lead to the most peaceful prospects for world peace and prosperity.
I don’t.
A Machiavellian view to be sure.
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.
