Democracies don't go to war easily because they concern themselves with matters like economic prosperity and casualties, matters of much smaller importance to tyrants. Once they do go, they are tough. But the point about Arab democracies is that they are much less likely to go to war than Arab tyrannies. War is a quick decision when only man needs to say 'yes' to it, and it tends to silence the opposition in a wonderful way. Are you now supporting Arab democracy? If 200 million Arabs vote to not recognize the nation of Israel, should the rest of the world accept their democratic decision? After all, if the vote is 200 million Arab NOs against 6 million Israeli YESs, should democracy win or the Israeli desire for self determination win?
