Crimson > one can only hope that true democracy will deliver what empty rhetoric has not -- not only in Palestine, but throughout the region.

That's impossible. In the Muslim world the notion of democracy is a contradiction in terms because democratic elections will eventually lead to the creation of an Islamic state with sharia law, in other words, a caliphate -- and that is anti-democratic.

The best deal the US could have hoped for was a friendly dictatorship, like Iraq once was under Saddam. Unfortunately for him and the US, he wasn't friendly to Israel and so he had to go. But I cannot believe that the Pandora's Box which will come in his place will benefit either Israel or the US.
