But, at any rate.  Nature abhors a vacumm.  salfism and extremism exist because there is nothing better to fill the space.  guys like bashar asswad won't allow anything better to exist because it is also competition for their own power.  to end the dark ages you have to allow all ideas and philophies to step forward and be freely examined.  nothing else will work.  You can not oppress your way into tolerance.---------- -------------------- -------------------- - i wish that the Arab world is like Sweden and Israel like Norway...and every one is living in peace and democracy...the Middle East is the Middle east....divided...fu ll of hatred...no one is innocent in the Middle East...and foreign secret services have been playing one side against the other.....No one is innocent...but all are stupid to the point of committing collective suicide....My point is : the US is not serious about bringing democracy in the Arab world because Saudi Arabia is the most undemocratic country in the world...without Wahhabi ideology,the Ibn Sauds will lose their power...so the Americans will make sure that Wahhabism stays alive...the Americans will turn a blind eye when the Ibn Sauds and the Qatari emperor will finance Islamist parties and movements...the Muslim world will be more and more radicalized  (that's possible!) and this kind of brainwashing is very dangerous...Wahhabis m-pseudo salafism and extremism exist because of oil money and American-brit protection of the ideological and financial source of radicalism....the Ibn Sauds and the Qatari emperor...Real democracy in the Arab/Muslim world goes against the strategic interests of the United States (as the US imbeciles see them)...so  what is the real agenda of the US ?

****************** **you are joking?
Syria never even recognized Lebanon sovereignty and now you think you have a right to demand it?  The Lebanese civil war was started by Syria when they armed palestinian camps to the teeth.  Why didn't they arm the palestinians camps near damascus?  Then one year after Gemayel is assasinated Syria invades "to restore the peace". 

When that didn't work out and the UN was taking over for Israel with the intention of rebuilding Lebanon under the French constitution ... then hafez sided up with Iranian influenced radicals and had them shoot mortars into UN bases capped off with a big suicide bomb.  Yee-haw the civil war was back on.  and guess who invaded again?
Yup, hafez.
