Slacker, What is often wrong about American Foreign policy is that we try to cut and paste our political system on another country without regard to their history, culture and customs. For instance my Chinese-american friend talked of a consensus type political system developing in China--we view it reflexively as a one party communist state. In the middle east something else that is Progressive might develop. My point is that we americans need to think out of the box sometimes before trying to imprint our system on anther nation. But i do agree at some level some type of representative government is desirable. mike
