Tell me, do you think Arabs are incapable of democracy?
Arabs are capable of democracy as well as you and me.

What about Lebanon, which has a 50 year history of democracy?
Building up of democracy (or civilization, or international law: all matters of good will, not of force) is a work of long time. The destruction of democracy (or civilization, or international law) takes considerably less time. It's like medicine: first, no harm. Be careful. The obvious mixing with material self-interest is corrupting everything.

Do you support democracy movements anywhere outside of Europe?
I support it everywhere, but only done by soft power, a virtue of Old America.
