"world will eventually become more peaceful once democracy spreads throughout the Mid-east."

'Eventually' can be a very long time... but what are the odds?

Not with civil war warming up in that artificial nation (assembled rather arbitrarily by the British out of three separate Ottoman provinces after WW I) called "Iraq", just like Bush I and Scowcroft predicted.
