This part I totally agree with. Having spent considerable time in that part of the world the American version of freedom and democracy will never exist, we can only hope that they will eventually take it upon themselves to understand that they will always be neighbours and unfortunatly due to population growthclose and closer neighbours. We can give them a push but it is up to them to take it the rest of the way then their mission may be accomplished.
