Following Fallujah a Victor David Hasnson wrote in his weblog about how sick he is of arab barbarism . One Michael Ledeen responded in LGF saying basically 'have faith , be patient ,we fixed Germany we can do this also but we need to fix not only Iraq but all the rest too' .
A fine sentiment that I agree with.

BUT...
ML says "...I do not think there is anything in their genes or their DNA that makes it impossible for them to achieve a democracy, or maybe better a democracy of sorts." .

And what if there is?

One of my current theories* on democracy is that it is a creation of aggression.
In a society where the majority of people want to the alpha males and are willing to fight for it a voluntary sharing of power between everyone is a stable solution while in a society where the majority are much more submissive the aggressive minority would seize power.

So IF social aggressiveness is genetic and IF my theory about it being a necessary part of what makes democracy stable is true then the problems of the arab world might be solved better by hormonal implants than by any social or legal mechanism .
Good luck with trying that one.

To begin to test this theory you need to look at arabs who were raised by jews as jews ( and also at all the other permutations ) and see what differences there are (if any) between the various groups.




I'm using arabs/jews because (apart from my racism) arabs and jews are supposed to be genetically close

*my other theory of democracy is that it is an over abundance of love

Love leads to Respect
Respect leads to Trust
Trust leads to Cooperation
And Cooperation leads to Democracy
