The U.S. and its allies will do anything they can to prevent authentic democracy in the Arab world.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It would be hard to ignore the absence of democracy in any Arab nation.
The U.S. will ignore the opinion of the Iraqi people and it will compose the new government according to its own desires.
Every Arab nation votes against us at least two thirds of the time.
There's a good lesson for policymakers: It's not the presence of the U.S. that is a problem for many people in the Arab region; it's the type of presence we bring.
I don't hold America responsible for the largely oppressive governments in the 22 Arab countries. There are repressive Arab governments that are our allies and there are those that are our nominal enemies. It doesn't make a whole lot of difference to what extent we're involved in propping up those governments.
It's not a democracy here, it's the Middle East.
The Palestinian Arabs will have their autonomy, we will have our security. We shall live together.
It is better for the Arab countries themselves to interfere out of their national, humanitarian, political and military duties and to do what is necessary to stop the bloodshed in Syria.
A free and democratic Arab world aligns with America's security interests.
Saudi Arabia is the country that in the end will determine the ability of the Arabs to reach a compromise with Israel.
