The social cultural analysis people really left us hanging when it came to finding out what is it with middle eastern culture that makes it unable to build working states and socities. Anti imperialist and anti colonial babblepprotecting the status quo of a patriarchaical, imperialist and colonisl culture that just gets constantly defeated because its handicapped by itself. Like a doctor declaring your disease a lovely character trait instead of helping. The o so solidaric allies are the worst enemies you can get. Chances are when your ideology is bad at managing economies, it's even worser at managing societies .
Its a special kind of evil to deny billions of people hope and participation in the worlds society so one can get high on ones own ideological supply. Bush at least tried . In this he and whatever the Israelis do to prevent the region blowing itself up is the lesser evil.

Iraq under Saddam and Syria under Assad were working states and societies. The trouble is with bottom up democracy, and that’s a shortcoming of virtually every non-european society. Singapore for example is wealthy, but is already having trouble after its benevolent quasi-authoritarian ruler died. > Its a special kind of evil to deny billions of people hope and participation in the worlds society so one can get high on ones own ideological supply To the contrary, it’s cruel to push democracy on societies that aren’t capable of sustaining them.
