Another Juan Cole column, another pissing exercise in willful stupidity In fact, regime change in the Middle East has often come about through foreign invasion. Egypt's Gamal Abdel Nasser... Hello, was Nasser ever a bleeding democrat and when he used chemical weapons on Yemen, was spreading democracy any part of his goals? Please remind me Mr Big-Shot Middle East History Professor. And if you think it makes no never mind whether the 'foreign intervention' is trying to create a decent democratic place to live, as the US is doing in Iraq, or simply wants to take over the place for glory and economic gain, as Syria did in Lebanon, then you have made yourself into a total idiot. The New Left. For democracy only in places that have it already.
