Is the U.S. better off with the Middle East as it is now than as it was before 2001?

By Victor Davis Hanson

After September 11, there were only seven sovereign countries in the Middle East that posed a real danger to the policies and, in some cases, the security of the United States—Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Syria. Ignoring the hysteria about the Sunni Triangle in Iraq, if we look at these states empirically, have they become more or less a threat in the last five years?

'90%' on both?

And yet you still appear to have little conception of what STATISM & AUTHORITARIANISM are? :)

(For example, my scores are PERSONAL issues Score 90%.
ECONOMIC issues Score 100%. I.e., very SOLIDLY Libertarian in BOTH dimensions, at the top of the matrix about as far as you can get from Statism... yet totally 'Centrist' on the 'left/right' scale --- actually one notch to the right of dead center....)
