There's a false distinction - "or do you believe it won't be a true democracy and we're trying to set up a puppet state? Hmmm." So, if an Arab state is unable to support a democratic form of government, the alternative is that it will be a US puppet state? Please! Let's look at the forms of government in that part of the world - feudal, oppressive monarchies supported by a police state apparatus, "strong man [dictatorship]" rule, supported by a police state apparatus, or anarchic warlordism, with each warlord aspiring to become a dictator or monarch supported by a modern police state apparatus.

So, PMB, if democracy fails, in an Arab country, you're going to blame us for trying, or accuse the US for setting up a "puppet" regime? Get real!!!
