Things must change in the Middle East and there are two way in which it can take place: Evolution or Revolution.
Processes of change must take place slowly and diplomatically.
When I was in College, I read Something of Value concerning the revolution in the Congo in the '50s(things haven't changed much) but the point always stuck with me: You cannot dismantle a culture which is stable no matter how corrupt without having something of value to replace it with.
That's the glaring issue in Iraq right now. We have displaced a corrupt, brutal albeit stable regime and have offered nothing of value in return.
Until we solve that problem, we will experience death and chaos.
