Was Paul Wolfowitz right about democracy in the Middle East?

Wolfowitz obviously thought that it would be strong enough to overcome being “snuffed out” to use your words. So he was wrong.

Also, unfortunately, the Arab Spring 10 years on is pretty much a bloody failure everywhere except Tunisia.

He will eventually be right. I have no idea how that region survives without developing beyond their natural resource economy and then how they even develop without allowing for some rule of law. Maybe it can only happen organically and in the course of 100 years instead of purely violently over the course of 10.

...Then he is wrong...
