#4 Arab intellectuals, even those who favour drastic political reforms, are suspicious of US intentions. They also say that due to Arab criticism towards US foreign policy, the democracy campaign may be counter-productive, complicating the reform efforts of domestic liberals. "Itâs becoming increasingly embarrassing for people to champion the cause of democracy inside Egypt because so often it looks like they are jumping on the bandwagon of the United States," said Walid Kazziha, professor of political science at the American University of Cairo.

Because, like it or not, the U.S. is the model. If that thought is so terrifying, then fine, keep your corrupt Arab kleptocracies intact, and keep on seething in your own miseries. Just make sure that when you decide to engage in an orgy of killing in an attempt to make yourselves feel better about your pathetic lives, you kill YOUR OWN COUNTRYMEN, and leave everybody else alone.

#5 "they are jumping on the bandwagon of the United States," said Walid Kazziha, professor of political science at the American University of Cairo."

Yes. We can start with spelling. It is called A-m-e-r-i-c-a-n U-n-i-v-e-r-s-i-t-y. Got that, professor sir?

Must be something in the water at facilities of higher education.

#6 The United States has kept most Arab governments in the dark about its plans for the Middle East

I find this immensely reassuring: it means that most of them are considered targets. Let's get this damned election over with, so we can get on with the job...
