I too believe that most muslims/Arabs/Persians/etc. (if this is what you're arguing) would choose more freedom and modernity as opposed to the strict Islamic alternative, but this doesn't mean 15% of the muslim world (certainly still a sizeable #) wants the same.
There are things that bind muslims in the Middle East, and a lotofthem aren't very pleasant. The potential for this justto fester and grow is real, and shouldn't be disregarded.

Oh, no argument there.
But - speaking as the Taft fan that I am - why is this our problem?
I have no gripe whatsoever with kicking the living shit out of the people that actually attacked us...but I can't see why we should suddenly be the cop for the whole Muslim world.
