Wave the magic wand and "poof", democracy.

Get serious - democratizing the Arab world can be 20-50 year program. Before 9/11 zero real effort has gone into it, so I think your assessment that it can't be done is a bit pessimistic. I think the long term trend of the planet will be democracy. If Americans of all different religions, ethnicities and what have you can be democratic, so can Arabs.
