still a basket case( it does not even have a central banking system and the Taliban are coming back), Iraq seems to be slouching towards civil war, and a much more worrisome conflagration is occurring in Lebanon and Northern Israel.

The comparison between post war Germany and Japan and the Middle East is a faulty one. There are just too many differences. Iraq, for example is a country that was artificially put together after WWI. Much like the former Yugoslavia. Different ethnic and religious sects were thrown together with little concern for compatibility.

to the post above-where you get that it took 40 years? back to history lessons please.
those people in the middle east are a different mind set, almost genetically it seems. they just refuse to get along with each other, and anyone different than them.
they fight with other people and among themselvs all the time, and if they aren't fighting, then they are openly discrimtive towards people of different religons and cultures, even in turkey.
i seriously doubt the place will ever be stable, unless the west actually decies that places like that need a heavy handed ruler, not a democracy.
the USSR realized that with afganistan, but og course america thought it would be better not to have a steady, haeavy handed communist governemnt there, so what did we get in returen? 9/11!!! yea!!!
i say we should just let the dominoes fall where they may and pick up the pieces afterwards.

It took 40 years after WWII got Germany and Japan to establish stable governments, what makes you think middle eastern countries can do that in 3 or 4 years?

The wish to spread democracy was the excuse, not the reason for America's intervention every where. In international politics you must use your own brain and instincts and not believe what you are told.
But if you cannot do that, do not worry, you are like 99.9% of he rest of the people. Gullible cannon fodder
