article: "Denial Confronts Illiteracy: 69 Mass Delusions" it is out, now posted 321gold.com your cited article is in synch with one on my long list check delusion #7 democracy can be imposed in the Arab world" The Iraq region has not seen democracy in five thousand years. The Arab world has had a few episodes of democratic leadership, but the assassinations of Nasser and Sadat ended those examples in Egypt. Is Mubarak the leader of a democratic land, or is he held ransom by a strong and vocal Islamic community? Our plan to impose democracy steeps with arrogance, hegemony, and naïveté. The Arab culture is inconsistent with such a structure of government. A tribal culture that does not value education or advancement of women's rights offers no foundation for the active requirements of democratic representation and leadership. Most Arab democracies have resulted in brutal dictatorships. No, any attempt to promote a democratic leader would be quickly seen as installation of an American puppet for conducting our business and furthering our interests, inviting a quick broad backlash. / jim
