And that has what to do with democracy, or holding elections? I think the protests are wonderful, but I can't figure out what you think the Middle East looks like once you've forced it into the Conservative Master Narrative.
In Iraq, there was an election held while a foreign power occupied the country, and the country is a mess. So this inspired Lebanese to protest to tell the Syrians to leave before the next elections. Is this how we set an example for the rest of the world?

Who is trying to fit what into their ideological narrative? Or have you forgotten that we are in Iraq at the request of the Iraqi government?
