Makboom seems a little clueless. This is not about "putting" democracy in the Middle East. It's about fighting Islamic terrorism first and foremost. Now, obviously, it would be a good thing if a little democratic governance sprouted here and there in its wake. It would make the world a hell of a lot safer. But it's going to take a long time and it won't be easy. However, I don't see where we have any other choice. Everything else has been tried - especially appeasement. Sometimes I think we are back in the 1930's with almost everyone's head in the sand. Just couldn't bring themselves to deal with the Nazi's. This is no less a fight to the death. Face it now or be forced to later.....when it's going to be really, really nasty.
