		<description>i read your article topic: U.S. and the Middle East Uprisings: Time to Get on the Right Side of History

but to say the fact how would you call Israel  the only Democratic state in Middle East though if it is a democratic state by persecuting, torture, killing innocent Palestinians people (i now understand the mission of u.s government in the Middle East)</description>

		<description>I am always suspicious of anyone who quotes Lenin in an admiring way, since he is one of the great monstiers of the 29th century--perhaps all history.

As for &quot;being on the right side of history&quot;, I find those are usually propagandists, and are not interested in the truth, but rather some partisan position in a given hisortical moment.  Some of the people I&#039;ve heard use the phrase probably can barely spell &quot;history&quot; and certainly look more for a justification of their viewpoint than the truth.

So I&#039;m not impressed with this story.</description>

		<description>america is probably the world power ,also making us to believe that they are promoting peace in the universe ,but focusing the peace or democracy mainly in oil rich countries is only pointing at one thing,lets hope and believe that is not based on selfish intrest.</description>

		<description>You must learn history before you can be on the right side of it. History dictates that when a revolution leaves a void of leadership, the strongest, most organized group will always take over. Democracy does not sprout from where there are no seeds. There is no pedigree of democracy anywhere in the middle east. Left wing interest groups, the western press, especially the naive American press, and cynical politicians,continually fall for the same line of monolithic thinking. 

Pick up a history book and study the Greek, French, Russian, German, Chinese, Iranian, Cuban and countless other revolutions and you will find a trade off from one form of tyranny to another. 

Then study the American Revolution and if your smart, you will understand why it succeeded. There was a culture and democratic spirit in eighteenth century America, and the colonies had new governments in place by the time the conflict began.

As bad as Mubarak may have been, wait until he is replaced by someone else (MB). Gaddafi will be the same. If it spills to Saudi Arabia, Syria, Yemen and other Muslim countries, they will end up with some sort of Theocracy. Too much of the culture in these countries, mulls around Islam. People in this area are tribal, uneducated, and can only survive under strong, and always brutal leadership.  OK. That&#039;s just the way it is.

The problem for America, is that unwise former leaders and even less wise current leaders have made America dependent on foreign countries for resources we can and should be developing ourselves. We will become slaves to the Middle Eastern oil countries that will perhaps come under a single Caliphate before long, and will be forced to pay whatever price they charge us.   For many years, U.S. politicians have decided that energy policy should be structured around technology yet to exist and they have left us in this predicament, only to make it worse with bad foreign policy. Sometimes the tyrant you know is better than the one you don&#039;t.  The people in these countries will not be better off and we in the west will be much worse off. There will only be one democracy in the middle east.  That will be Israel, but they will once again be surrounded by leaders who want to annihilate them, and their existence will once again be threatened.

Wake Up USA.</description>
