With the Bush administration, we have a good cop, bad cop situation developing in the world.

As the bad cop, Bush is putting pressure on the middle east countries.

He would rather face a hostile democracy instead of friendly dictatorship. To me that makes perfect sense. If militants get voted in, then they can easily get voted out in those countries if public hates them (a very likely scenario).
...just like Bush.<g>

That explains the pressures against Syria and Iran. The Islamic extremists have veto power over the priminister/parliament.

As I see it, events in the world seem to be unfolding for the next president of the US to be a man of peace. In the meantime, the bads guys have to do the dirty work..and Bush and his gang are pretty nasty. The people of the US and world NEED to see contrast between different US administrations..and now they are getting that opportunity.

So many intelligent people are very worried by all the developments in the middle east.
I am not as concerned as things can change very easily (election of a new president)...and that is why I sense it will all work out good for the long run.

btw--note Bush and Sharon seem very similar and they are in power at the same time! Again with Sharon, Israelis/Palestinians/Middle East all get the opportunity to see that contrast.
