re: If Americans of all different religions, ethnicities and what have you can be democratic, so can Arabs. Just because you say it, it doesn't make it true. Hell, democracy is having a hard time surviving in this country, what with gerrymandering and special interests. And we're hard wired for it. It's pretty fragile. Wait and see the Iraq constitution, and let me know if it's sounds democratic by our standards. Wait for the first real election (if it ever happens), without US troops breathing down their necks... see who they elect. Call me pessimistic if you like, I've been pessimistic from the start. The optimists thought this would be a cake walks, and the troops would have been home a year now. The optimists were wrong and are still wrong. John
