On a more serious note, however, things are going to get much dicier in the region before any improvements are in the offing (via Glenn R). Religious freedom has nothing on the opportunity to make some easy cash. And increased lawlessness is proving to be good for business.
or why dont israel and the united states do a reenactment of alexander the great; conquer the whole region; depose all the dictators; tell whoever takes over they must institute 1st amendment rights and establish a “free market” then get the hell out and get ready to deal with china
Um, I think we are currently trying that with 3 countries right now, and it isn’t working.
If you remember, Hamas (the I Hate You – I Kill You political party) was elected in a landslide.
All things considered, taking over the Mid East is like taking over Canada- even if we could, (aside from natural resources) why would we want to? And where would all those Arabs go? To U.S. Universities? No thanks?
This is an astounding piece, in that it is both WAY out of the “box” AND full of clear and obvious realities for anyone who is willing to look at the Middle East in an objective fashion. Love it!
Klavan exposes the only real solution to combat the evil that is Islam; therefore, Democrats will be having a hissy fit thinking that real peace could ever have a chance to destroy all the work they have done for the past 70 years promoting Islamic Theocracies as the solution.

Are you having trouble with the audio?
Umm, maybe it’s because I’m deaf?
Why don’t you go out and buy the appropriate computer software?
YouTube has the ability to autotranscribe. All PJ has to do was to turn it on!
Hmm. It makes you wonder just why the Pallys are so insistent on their own “One State Solution”…
Now that’s a middle east plan I can endorse. Peace, freedom, equal rights for all and no killing of other religions.
Funny no one’s thought of it before now.

Thank You. That was the most eloquent way of putting this I have ever seen.
Works for me.
Absolute. Genius!
Brilliant! I like it. Let’s do it. It is gonna be way cheaper that the present situation, and maybe profitable. Seriously let’s do it.

Andrew Klavan is brilliant!
It makes so much sense, it’ll never happen.
