There you go, John. Once again Friedman puts his finger on what REALLY is happening in the Middle East and with Muslim culture.

So tejek, the real story isn't that the US is the sole reason why things are going poorly in the Middle East. The Muslims in that region also bear some of the responsibility. One thing I like about Bush's vision is that he has openly acknowledged that we should no longer prop up dictators and has called for a policy shift to push Democracy.

The vision is good, but once again he fails in its implementation. So when Hamas came to power, he had an opportunity to extend an olive branch and say that we would work with Hamas to unify the security infrastructure of the Palestinians under one authority in preparation for the creation of a Palestinian army and state. Instead, we called on them to disarm, which is tantamount to a rejection of their elected right to an army and a provocation to Muslims who now see us as hipocrits. Way to go George.
