Al, great quote from Francis Fukuyama, but misrepresented by the headline. Here it is again: Although Mr Fukuyama still supports the idea of democratic reform - complete with establishing the institutions of liberal modernity - in the Middle East, he warns that this process alone will not immediately reduce the threats and dangers the US faces. "Radical Islamism is a by-product of modernisation itself, arising from the loss of identity that accompanies the transition to a modern, pluralist society. More democracy will mean more alienation, radicalisation and - yes, unfortunately - terrorism," he says. OK, so democracy in the Middle East isn't enough, but it's still necessary. Do you have the entire link, or will I just have to Google it for myself? I want to see what else he has to say. What makes you think the guy knows what he's saying? After all, he's been wrong so far. en.wikipedia.org He is all over the political board. Besides, I thought Republicans didn't trust academia.
