Predicting Middle Eastern Politics. Truth is so important for man.

Thanks for another informative article Dr. Pipes, especially on the changes in the Middle East, and brutal dictatorships. I see so many people dissatisfied and unhappy. I would like to say that the family unit has been greatly diminished in all races. A family is one of the most important assets in our lives and our children are our blessings. Note that a free and prosperous society promotes education, jobs, peace, and hope, not distrust, unhappiness, malaise, financial collapse, and mistrust.

I do not see satisfaction or stability in many countries because the politicians, rulers, or regimes have become greedy, self-centered, and power hungry. Their consideration is no longer for the people, but for control, and total corruption. Its time that the peoples of all countries demand the kind of freedom that makes happiness, this never happens under a dictatorship, but by free and fair elections. In the best interests of all people, Iran and N.Korea should be stopped from gaining nuclear weapons, or we are looking at annihilation of the human race. Insane rulers will use weapons of Mass Destruction for No Good, their goals are totally evil. I speak with no bias against anyone, but plain truth, to promote a better world.
