The UK Daily Telegraph reports:
There are signs that tectonic plates could be shifting throughout the Middle East. Eight million people voted in Iraq in defiance of those who vowed to kill them for doing so. Municipal elections are being held in Saudi Arabia. President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt has permitted opponents to stand against him as he seeks to be re-elected for a fifth term. After the death of Yasser Arafat, the Palestinian leader, and the democratic accession of Mahmoud Abbas, there is fresh optimism that a lasting peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians could be on the horizon.
Credit where it’s due. MoveOn.org have earned their bragging rights:
Beirut is not the only place where MoveOn is having an impact. Throughout the Middle East, from Egypt to Iran, there is a rumble of freedom that can be directly traced back to MoveOn’s earliest Flash Animation Against Bush film contest. When Al-Jazeera and Iraqi State Television broadcast these films, I can only imagine how many normal Muslim citizens were heartened by our principled stance with the international community against the illegal US invasion of Iraq. Later, they drew encouragement from our online petition to end US military occupation, our fund drive raves to Re-Reject Bush, our courageous suit to overturn the stolen election in Ohio, and our steadfast opposition to the Administration’s dangerous push for early Iraqi elections. Make no mistake: these efforts created a rich loamy fertilizer of inspiration from which the flower of Mideast freedom is just starting to emerge.
UPDATE. Divergent Australian views:
The Prime Minister, John Howard, has credited the overthrow of Saddam Hussein as a catalyst for Syria’s withdrawal from Lebanon and other promising democratic developments in the Middle East.
But his assertions were dismissed by the Labor leader, Kim Beazley, who warned that the Australian troops newly deployed to Iraq could be caught up in a bloody civil war.
“What’s really happening there is the Lebanese people are throwing off the shackles,” he said. “As far as I can see, this situation in Iraq has got little to do with it.”
Beazley can’t see very far.

- Sort of like Ireland and Sweden saying their principled stands of neutrality during World War II gave inspiration to those countries fighting against the press of Nazi jack boots (question: can anyone not American own a pair of jack boots?). Yes, why it’s obvious, it wasn’t the Americans or Russians and, well, it definitely wasn’t the French, we can all agreed on that, that won the war. It was the neutrals courageous stand of not getting anywhere close to guns, and bullets, and bombs. Yes.Posted by wronwright on 03/06 at 01:56 PM • permalink
- wronwright — Well, yeah, except “neutral” Sweden happily sold iron ore to Britain and ball bearings to Germany (at a time when British and American fliers were dying in the hundreds trying to bomb Germany’s ball-bearing industry), so Sweden was happy to keep the war going as long as possible… and remember “neutral” Sweden sold automatic weapons to the CIA during the Vietnam war…Posted by richard mcenroe on 03/06 at 02:25 PM • permalink
- Yes, well, see Mr. McEnroe, this is exactly the type of nuanced thinking that is obviously beyond your ability. Yes, it might have SEEMED like Sweden was making billions of krona, volvos, or whatever they were making there from the providing of raw materials needed for waging worldwide war. In the process extending the war by years and deaths by millions. But in actuality they were only extending the opportunity for oppressed peoples under those jack boots (dang, just what are jack boots anyway?, can I get a pair from Lands End?) to become inspired to such an extent that they would, you know, throw the Nazi yoke (the oxen kind, not the egg kind), off their selves, not to mention the shackles.
You see, some nations do the inspiring, and some nations spend the money, send the soldiers, and do the actual hard work. But when good things happened, all nations deserve credit equally. That is what we call “multilateralism”. Of course, if bad things happen, well, that’s unilateral actions by a out of control hegemonic imperialist warmongering nation. Until, the good stuff kicks in. Then the inspiring stuff comes out and we can all see that the inspiring nations get equal credit. Even though they didn’t, you know, actually do anything. Other than inspire. Which is hard too, you know. Are you paying attention to this?
And please don’t ask about the Communist yokes and whether neutral countries inspired anybody to do anything about those yokes because, well, those yokes are different, yes, far different, requiring far different nuances. And stuff like that.

You might have a also pointed out that Ireland’s principled stand in refusing the Brits the use of naval and air bases on its sacred soil in WW2 (thus extending the range of anti-submarine forces)condemned thousands of merchant seamen to their deaths in the North Atlantic. At the same time Ireland relied on those convoys that did get through to feed its population. Little known but true.

- “Imagine a Birkenstock stamping on a human face – forever.�?
No. I’m pretty sure jack boots is what I want. Probably black jack boots. Although I kind of like brown. And cordovan is a very nice color too. Maybe with the Florsheim eyelets, you know. Something I can wear into the office possibly.
But I think black jack boots is more manly, and um, you know, oppressive. In a Nazi storm trooper Bushitler crazy killer sort of way.
I have never, not once, heard them speak of stamping on people with Birkenstocks on the Daily Kos. Or Adidas. Or Reebocks. Or Keds. Wait, let me think. No, not Keds either.
I think that says volumes.
Posted by wronwright on 03/06 at 05:27 PM • permalink
- Sorry, wronwright, no eyelets on jackboots. They have to be the kind of boots that you pull on, not lace up. Whoever heard of a secret policeman having to stop stomping on somebody’s face in order to tie up his bootlaces in a tidy knot? That sort of wimpishness leads to a loss of gulagcred.
You’re right about them being black though. No other color will do. It’s a matter of style and convenience, since black leather is as de rigeur for a minion of an evil hegemon as it is for a dominatrix, plus it’s much easier to polish over the bloodstains with black leather.

“As far as I can see, this situation in Iraq has got little to do with it.”
This is NOT a surprising reaction. After all, the same type of people have been claiming that Pres. Ronald Reagan had nothing at all to do with the USSR falling apart, or the Berlin Wall coming down. For them, it was going to happen anyway.
For people who hate the coalition and hate the Iraq war, anything good that happens in the ME will never be credited to what’s happened in Iraq and Afghanistan. Only bad things can result from what the coalition has done in the ME, according to these people.
I read an article recently where someone stated that what happened in Lebanon would have eventually happened in Iraq. If we had just left the Iraqis alone they would have come together, just like the Lebanese, and dealt with Saddam themselves. So, what’s happened in Lebanon PROVES the Iraq war was NOT NECESSARY.
I do not expect the deluded to change their minds just because of what we see happening. The deluded will find ways of making it seem they were right all along.

Cjosephson — Yeah, but they forget they don’t control the access to information anymore. Between the web and print on demand, accurate records of rebuttal will always be available.
Besides, everybody knows the guy in the office who doesn’t actually do jack but claims the result everyone else works for was his idea all along. Acting like him is not going to win the left any friends.

- I do not think that the kid waving Old Glory in the pro-democracy celebrations has a great future in Lebanese politics. A recent BBC world service survey put Lebanon as the third most anti-US country, just after Turkey and Indonesia. UPI reports how the democratising Islamic nations are more likely to be anti-US:
Those with the most negative views of the Bush administration’s policies are (1) Turks with 82 percent; (2) Indonesians, 81 percent; (3) Lebanese, 80 percent; (4) Argentines, 79 percent; (5) Brazilians, 78 percent. Mercifully, half the 22,000 people surveyed in 21 countries by the BBC around the world did not agree, “America’s influence on the world is very negative.”
For those who see thousands of demonstrators in Beirut excoriating Syria as pro-American voices for freedom, think again. In Egypt, there are far more people angry with President Hosni Mubarak for his close alliance with the U.S. than for denying them their political freedom.
My guess is that Arabic democracy is being driven by Islamic demography, and this is not necessarily good for liberty within those nations, or security without them.
- Jack — That the same BBC that said we weren’t at the Bagdhad Airport and the elections were doomed?Posted by richard mcenroe on 03/06 at 10:37 PM • permalink
- Arabic democracy … driven by Islamic demography … is not necessarily good for liberty within those nations
What a shame that they’re not yearning for a nice Islamist theocracy instead, eh Jack? That’d really ramp up those countries’ liberty quotient.
The mind boggles at such inane “if things can’t be perfect, they shouldn’t be at all” statements. I can see why you’re aboard the Buchanan paleo-con bandwagon, Jack.

Thanks so much for your suggestions. But, um, a pair of Chippewa boots and a Serengeti Safari shirt is not exactly what I have in mind.

- Look guys,
I initially supported the war on the basis of democratic state promotion throughout West Asia, on the grounds that Arabic jurisdictions could be civilised and “estated”. But I, like most war-bloggers, was wrong about the difficulties Arabian jurisdictions would have when the US attempted to graft Western secular ideas of democracy onto their system.
The extension of majority rule to these jurisdictions may empower militants who are uncivil to minorities (eg Sadr to women), unfraternal to their provincials (Suunis to Shiites) and uncooperative to the West (eg Sistani to Israel). These problems afflict Arabic jursidictions apart from Iraq.
Majority rule is not a magical elixir that fixes all problems. Just look at the recent history of democratic CIS v dictatorial PRC. Majority rule is good when it is combined with minority rights & secular rule of law. Elsewise it can act as a populist legitimator of mob rule and militant aggression (does anyone remember Jacobin France? Or even the populism of Khomenite Iran?).
Now maybe these democratic distempers are not so great, or maybe they can be sorted out. But I always thought that one of the good things about conservative liberals like Burke (V constructive liberals like Paine) was their realism (V idealism), evolutionary reformism (V revolutionary radicalism), tradition (V fashion), localism (V globalism), empirico-logicalism (V ideo-logicalism) and so on. This difference in intellectual temper made conservatives better at asessing the possible downside consequences of violent world-historical changes.
Evidently (neo-)conservatives are the direct antithesis to (paelo-)conservatives in these matters. Certainly the former are in the tradition of Paine, whereas the latter are more in the tradition of Burke. I am not saying that it is always wrong to be a revolutionary radical, but surely recent history shows the pitfalls of abandoning evolutionary reform?
I hope the democratic revolution works out ok in SW Asia. But when this new phase of History starts banging on my door I will, like a good old fashioned conservative, not rush to embrace violent upheaval with enthusiasm because once bitten…

- And, of course, mob rule has never affected any non-Islamic nation.
Jack, what makes you think Russia (and its former satellites) is democratic? They have elections on occasion, when there’s nothing good on TV, but that is not what is necessary to have real democracy.
Iraq is doing well, moving slowely, but well, to say otherwise is to deny the obvious.
- Andrea Harris, Administrator on 03/07 at 11:50 AM • # 31 displays some faux grief which would be better used at the internment of her own ideological corpus:
I’m disappointed, Jack.
AH must be getting used to that feeling, given the way that the Iraq War has gone, especially since the US has spent 1500 lives and $300 billion to install a proto-Islamacist, pro-Iranian government in Iraq. No regrets there, I take it.
I am, by contrast, alarmed. I will admit that the sight of the “war-blogging community” embracing yet another ME revolution exercises a certain gruesome car-wreck fascination on my mind. But I am not sure I want to be around when its time to clean up the mess.
We have gone from regime change in one nation to democratic revolution in the whole region. Is this wise?
Thus the US is now supporting the replacment of dictatorial governments which feared the US with democratic mass movements that hate the US. Most of these mass movements are illiberal and would have uppity women like Andrea Harris in stocks or worse.
Many SW Asian nations are in the grip of sectarian enthusiasm, probably driven by demographic vitality of their “Red State” areas. They are overwhelming their more secular confreres in the nationalist parties.
This sectarian populism has already overwhelmed states in the most democratic nations in the ME region – Iran, Algeria, Turkey and Palestine. And hasn’t that turned out just fine and dandy.
Understand that these nations are Not. Like. Us. In ME politics you count balls, not heads. By this metric you can multiply one unit of religious enthusiast support by an order of magnitude. Suicide bombers intimidate fence sitters which gives them the numbers.
Just because a few hot looking chicks appear in a couple of hip sounding demos it does not follow that the ME will turn into the US or like the US.
By all means support movements of civil constitutionalism everywhere incl the ME. But it would be nice if rightwingers, for a change, showed some conservative wisdom in the prospect of violent and radical political change, instead of the bloody folly that has characterised their recent ventures.

Maybe in Japanese it’s something lyrical like “Autumn Sunset Cranes.” And leftwingers is “Oyster Shells Crushed Underfoot.” The first translates as 秋�?�日没クレーン. By making “underfoot” two words the latter phrase translates as フィート�?�下�?�押�?��?��?��?�れるカキ�?��?. There, much prettier. (You may not be seeing this if you don’t have the right character set, duh.)
