Israel is the only democracy in that area of the world. Which is too bad. The Arabs will get more credibility when they dump their despotic dictators.

Most will not do that without the help from the U.S. and any allies........... Why? I dunno, but it makes me feel like I live in a country that babysits the rest of the world, and it is a babysitter that isn't affrad to 'spank' other countries, thus causing certain people to hate us as a people, not a nation.

India is not in the Middle East. But it is a democracy.

India isn't populated by Arabs either. India also represents a cleptocracy more often than not unfortunately.
