Arabs are not culturally "capable of embracing democracy? Huey, that ridiculous.

Well, I sure hope you are right. Arabs have sure have done a lousy job of embracing democracy in the Middle East so far. Perhaps the reason is tied to the fact that their are so many factions with extreme religious underpinnings.

>> Arabs are not culturally "capable of embracing democracy?" Huey, that ridiculous. You probably would have said the same thing about Germany and Japan in 1945, as did many people at the time. <<

germany and japan both had a history of democracy prior to the war. not so for most of the arab world.
