Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East.. Might have been true in 1948,, but it ain't true now. Lebanon and Tunisia are democratic.. and when someone responds but those democracies are struggling and their governments are corrupt ask them why Israel has had so many elections this year and why did Netanyahu ask for immunity from prosecution.
Also,, CIA Middle East expert Michael Scheuer doesn't care about democracy in the Middle East.. why should you?
Is there anything there worth an American life or an American dollar?
