>> I wonder what sorts of differing levels of roles we could (and are willing to) play?<< Before 9/11, we looked the other way at the rotten governments in the Middle East because we need oil, and therefore need stability. Heretofore, the regional forms of government have always been repressive. It may well be possible to establish democracies that respect human rights, but it hasn't ever happened so far. This is a tremendous challenge, but a worthwhile one, don't you agree?
