Z, how about Iran, Syria/Lebanon, SA? Bush himself described Saddam the other day as "one of the worst dictators in the Middle East." "one of the" It's a tough neighborhood... Iranian Ayatolahs are no picnic either. The Arab world is different. I may sound racist, but there are two important factors: first off, the "countries" are artificial imperial creations; the countries of the former Soviet Union broke apart, for the most part, into countries that made ethnic sense. Second, there's this whole "culture of death" and widespread fundamentalism. I have been thinking along the same lines. It may be a little defeatist to think that.
