>In all this confusion over Iraq and the talk of democracy, what has been overlooked is that democracy is beginning to take hold in some of the smaller ME states, and even S. Arabia is beginning to talk democratic reform.

It's all VERY slow, though...

It's interesting to watch, however.

Ted, <They may be the home grown, democratic guiding lights for the ME's future and not an American rebuilt Iraq.>

Good point, though I'd argue that an American-rebuilt Iraq will help these guiding lights along.

All I can say is that Saddam's continued intransigence isn't helping at all. Like I said before, better to take him out now than wait until he becomes like North Korea.

By the way, did you see Tad LaFountain's post on the Mod thread? Among many other points, he suggested buying MU as a hedge against the Korean situation. That in itself sent chills down my spine.
