The Development of Democratic Institutions in Arab Culture

[PanzerJaeger]

I know its difficult to comprehend but your links still talk about

Whoa

Wait for it



progress

this is 2011, The Arab Spring happened this year that pretty much puts to shame alot of talking points in these articles, additionally they are old and obsolete, try better next time.

A book published in November of 2010 is obsolete? That is quite a hurdle, indeed.

EDIT: holy moly, these articles are truly Old. with the latest one being in 2001, no You really should go back to these books you mentioned, with real evidence this time. Yallah i'm waiting

You mean 2004?

EDIT2: No sorry, besides the quotes, the links themselves lead to known neocon think tank organizations, Freedom House, and Middle East Quarterly in particular. Already discredited in proper discourse. Can you try something really academic and reputable this time?

Like Foreign Affairs?

Obviously calling into question the age and sources of the articles instead of their content is a well established tactic of obfuscation, but it does highlight an interesting issue. It was in fact the NeoCons who believed most strongly in the ability of the the Arab peoples to embrace democracy - so I am not sure what bearing that has on the credibility of articles published by supposedly NeoCon influenced organizations that suggest the opposite.
