Wasn't Hitler democratically elected as well? As was Ariel Sharon for that matter, and so was Bush.

Actually, Hitler was not elected to power.  Nice try, Godwin.

Problem is Arab countries do not have this middle class that you speak of. They largely rely on feudalistic rule, with feudal landlords and peasants, sheikhs and clans, tribes and what not. With a few select elite families controlling the factors of production. The Middle Class is very small.

Democracies do not support terrorist groups.

Was the US during the 1980s not a democratic system?

It was, but it did not support terrorists.  The US backed guerillas limited themselves to military targets.  While they practiced asymmetric warfare, they never attacked large civillian targets for the express purpose of kiling as many innocents as possible to convince the Soviets to leave.


Your other "points" are more laughable than those and I will leave people with half a brain cell to figure out their flaws without my help.
