It's worth nothing that this sudden surge of democratic energy across the Middle East is not a result of our middling into their affairs but of native reactions to tyrannical practices, a few brave souls taking a stand, and an eruption of sympathetic populations. Progressive changes can happen even when we don't try to strong arm them. Even when we back the wrong side, as alas we often do (keeping tyrants in power because they are "anti" something we also are against).
