I'm sorry yall but I just do not see Iraq or any other muslim ruled country ever being "BETTER" off....No matter who is in-charge, how much money or support someone gives them, the middle east has always and will always be a giant social, economical, and religious cluster fuck....The middle east is a giant tird that is going to stink uo the rest of the world until it is flushed down the sewer of inevitability....((inevitable to fail in modern society))

You certainly have the right of it with regard to the failure of the Arab world. I wonder what you mean, though, when you speak of flushing the region down the sewer.

Unless it is destroyed, the Middle East will still be there-- wallowing in failure, and periodically sending jihadis to kill us. There are only two solutions: modernization or destruction. We chose modernization. Thus, we are committed to dragging them (kicking and screaming) into the 19th or 20th century.

I'm reminded of Back to the Future Part II:
Marty: What if we don't succeed?
Doc Brown: We must succeed.
