I'm hearing and reading that there is an incredible amount of violence taking place in Iraq that is "unreported" (sorry, no link).

But your Pollyannish view of Iraq is disgusting.

I told you once already that I'm discussing the theoretical idea of bringing democracy to the ME. You are discussing what GB is currently doing in Iraq. They are not the same thing.

Why didn't you understand this when I told you last time?

The article you linked was an interesting one (I thought) on the affect that reality television has on spreading more liberal view throughout the ME. Saudi women get to see Lebanese women driving or wearing bikinis. A talk show hosts tells a battered wife to leave her husband. The exposure lets people in extremely rigid closed societies see what's possible, and that drives change. Get the subject - possible trends in opening up the ME. My point is that trend will reduce the problem of Al Qaeda terrorism.

So why are you going on about GB's actions in Iraq? There are plenty of ways to encourage democracy which don't include military invasions.

I'm sorry if this post wasn't "entertaining" or "clever".

I don't care about that, but your post is off topic. You are discussing something with yourself.
