Democracy Leads to Islamism in the Middle East

Debbie Schlussel:

It's rare that I agree with Pat Buchanan on Mid-East issues, but on this one I favor his view to that of Bush and even Israeli conservative Natan Sharansky, whose book on this President Bush read and touted. Unlike the Bush fantasy, democracy does NOT overcome tyrrany and terror in the Muslim Mid-East. It solidifies it, as yesterday's elections proved for the umpteenth time.

At least in the short run, she is proven correct.
