Clinton Rips Arabs on Lack of Reform

January 14, 2011 -- 9:00 a.m. EST

DOHA, Qatar — Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, adopting a tone reminiscent of the Bush administration, blasted Arab governments for stalled political change, warning that extremists were exploiting a lack of democracy to promote radical agendas across the Middle East.

Mrs. Clinton, addressing a conference on democracy as she wrapped up a four-nation tour of the Persian Gulf region Thursday, said the situation is exacerbated by dwindling natural resources and the difficulty of the region's large population of young people in finding jobs or channels through which to express their aspirations.

If left unaddressed, such limitations could set the stage for more violence and political turmoil, she said.
