Tyrone, while I'm not as much of a "free thinker" as you are, I didn't miss the point. I am not convinced that all arab's want "freedom". I think as Americans we all want to believe that everyone aspires to be like us, but I'm not convinced that's true.

Do they want ruling elites? No probably not, but, in fairness that's a different question. Many people of all races, and countries want strong leaders. I think they'll willing give up freedom for a strong fair leader.

Unfortunately, that doesn't happen. And for the record, I disagree that all/most arabs want freedom. Maybe you should spend a little time understanding their culture, and their religion. Freedom isn't high on the agenda.
