<< since the U.S. consistently supports compliant dictatorships and opposes independent democracy in the Middle East. >>

An absolutely absurd comment, especially since America supports the ONLY democracy in the ME.

Also, what would you have America do with the Arab dictatorships? You use the word "supports", where the real word is "tolerates". If the US murders Arab dictators, another one just pops up. Besides that, Arabs may never be capable of self government.

And do you seriously think there will be democracy in the middle east, other than in Israel? Do you envision free elections in Iraq?
