<p>"The way in which you hope democracy will be planted in the middle east will not happen. It's not realistic. If you would take a step back from you ideals, hopefully you would realize that this attack (which had nothing to do with Al Qaeda) has inflamed the region and spread more hatred."</p>
<p>You need to give it time. Democracy in a region as stone-age backwards-assed as the Middle East is not going to happen overnight. It will be a struggle, and a long one. But at the end of the day, freedom will reign and the world will be a safer place -- that is, if we want it. Your defeatism sure isn't helping. People like you are the reason why the American people are losing confidence in this mission, NOT because of the facts.</p>
