GWB’s Big Idea……….

…….is gaining ground in the Middle East.

From The Wall Street Journal:

The results of Kuwait’s elections last month — in which Islamists were rebuffed and four women were elected to parliament — will likely reinvigorate the movement for greater democracy in the region that has stalled since the hopeful “Arab spring” of 2005. It also puts pressure on the Obama administration to end its deafening silence on democracy promotion.

Now if only Backwards Obama doesn’t blow it the intervention in the ME by Bush after 60 years and more of failed policy is bearing fruit. Another little sign, Syria in order to assist its moribund economy is seeking more commercial ties with Iraq whose economy is thriving. In my understanding at the time this is what the whole invasion of Iraq was about, to start the process of changing the Islamic ME and bring it into the post medieval era. A hell of a tall order, no wonder we saw so much scoffing and pessimism from the bien pensant elites, otherwise known as clever dicks with no balls.
