What Does Democracy Really Mean In The Middle East?

True Democracy in the Middle East would be Islamic in most Countries. It would also
be anti-neo-imperialism. By this it would automatically be against the West and correctly so, as the Western Power is Anti-World.

American Democracy for Iraq.. what a joke. They want to rape the country (and population). They do not care about the people, and the American public as a whole doesn’t either. They are apathic to what is happening to Iraq. Oil, Rapture, Subjugation, Global Strategy are the reasons behind the war.


People of Baghdad, remember for 26 generations you have suffered under strange tyrants who have ever endeavoured to set one Arab house against another in order that they might profit by your dissensions. This policy is abhorrent to Great Britain and her Allies for there can be neither peace nor prosperity where there is enmity or misgovernment. Our armies do not come into your cities and lands as conquerors or enemies, but as liberators.
(March 11, 1917) British Lieutenant General Stanley Maude

I have travelled across the length and breadth of India and I have not seen one person who is a beggar or who is a thief. Such wealth I have seen in this country, such high moral values & people of such calibre, that I do not think we would ever conquer this country, unless we break the very backbone of this nation, which is her spiritual and cultural heritage.
(Lord McCauley in his speech of Feb 2, 1835, British Parliament)

Yes, that's the kind of democracy they need over there - Islamic. Like Afghanistan under the Taliban or Iran right now. Get out of line - get killed in the name of Allah by the despot who took control of the country from the last despot.

While the Left is cravenly hoping for autocratic, brutal dictatorships to succeed in the middle east, luckily there are still open-minded people with ideas who can see a better future for everyone in that part of the world once universal human rights and individual freedoms become the norm. Hopefully that will happen sooner rather than later - no thanks to Leftists.

Yes. The American way of democratic reform is so much better. We all know what happens to children when they get whatever they ask for. The new Porsche, the gucci jewllery, the Armani shoes . . .just overthrow the dictator and force democracy on them and they won't turn out to be Facist Dictators themselves, will they?

Typical FUD. No one, left or right, wants any dictator to succeed. Middle east, or not.

The most frightening thing about the world today is that two so very stark choices are being presented. Each "democratic" choice is necessarily dictatorial, since its quality is not determined by the people, but by outside forces. To one side, all imprecision (by their judgement) tends toward the other's particular fundamentalism (that's when one makes policy choices based on belief, not analysis).

What is most sad is that given the necessary freedom, patience and non-violent support, most of the people around the world ought to tend naturally toward a political culture more sympathetic to American democratic ideals. America cannot rationally accept this (its own) founding principle and its own exceptionalism at the same time.

There is no War on Terror between "the islamic world" and the "USA". How can there be, the leadership on either side is in full agreement as to how to treat terrorists (viciously when against them, apologetically when for). The real battle is between enlightenment and fundamentalism, and the free-thinking individual is the one the "war" is on, who seeks happiness, prosperity, and life in a nation whose governance and productivity is the exclusive property of its individual citizens. Such a prospect puts the revenue stream of Taliburton at risk.

Iraqis had the government they deserved before and during Saddam's reign; they will have the government they deserve after they hang the poor chap too.

Perhaps its un-PC, but these people will never have a civil society until they change their barabaric culture. Until such time, what difference does it make as to which plot of sand they chose to build the putative foundation of their country on?

Are you a bigot? Don’t answer the question was rhetorical.

I agree with the first statement though. If the Iraq had some balls they tell America, UK and the pathetic UN to go stick their help where the sun don’t shine; demand compensation for all the damages caused by the sanctions and bombing; refuse to pay for the war and any debts they have as a way of “reimbursement” for the good they have done; demand money from the IBRD then tell it to go and screw itself; demand DU clean up from it “neighbours” and the West. And start behaving independently.. leave the UN, WTO and any international screwed up organisation.. which is all of them.
