#2 "to lay the stress all the time on elections, parliamentary Western-style elections, is a dangerous delusion."

Delusion, or a good excuse to bug out and leave the mess to the natives? Ask the countries that de-colonized, like Portugal.

#5 I'd say the Islamists have less than 100 years to achieve their ambitions before the Chinese get fed up with them and wipe them off the map.

#9 Jerry Pournelle's version:
I have no brief for Qadhafi, or for Bashar of Syria, or for Mubarak of Egypt. I will say I have not heard stories of 14 year old girls being lashed to death in public during their watch in their regimes, but that is not a great deal to be said to their credit. Or is it? In some parts of the world it is assumed that 14 year old rape victims will not be beaten to death in public, but there are places where that is demanded by the law, and is it bad form to point out that this is barbarism.

#10 yeap, we are busy burning the Arabs Oil, while our oil, natural gas and coal sit safely under our feet. Kinda like a bank account. Yep the Arab stuff is expensive, but we can afford it. Someday they will be back on the camels and off to the desert to raise goats. Then we will depete someone else - Brazil comes to mind - these places are for all real intents and purposes colonies. We allow them to have independant governments but all they can sell to the west is their natural resources.

We sit on the largest energy reserves in the world and we get along quit well with our neighbors to the north who also has a butt load of energy resourses.

Let the rest of them sell it off - and then say what happened we used to be rich. The english decended nations,will survive.
