The fly in the ointment as respoects the ME is that Japan was a homogenous society at the end of WWII. There were no clan, religious, or tribal divisions like those we see in the ME. Those divisions will make it exceedingly difficult to have democracy succeed.

Don't misunderstand, I'd like to see democracy succeed. I just don't think the analogy to Japan at the end of the war is accurate.
