It's an old vs new look at the status quo I think. Old realpolitik says better a brutal strongman than home grown morons. New says bring 'the people' into power and work with them to control said morons.
I like the thought of the new, it's hard not to cheer for the people, but I have serious reservations.
It's something of a dead argument as much of the ME has already passed over to 'the people', at least theoretically. I have doubts that it will stay that way, and if so that the radicals will be suppressed. Look at Pakistan.
In the meantime, does the international community believe that genocide of sorts is acceptable to them, or not? NK at least is certainly watching.
