For about a year and a half I was hoping someone in the Middle East would step up and start advocating some reforms, but that didn't happen so,...
I agree that it needs to happen, it has to happen, but I'm a cynic and don't see it happening, not soon at least.

Do we need to change everyone or the youth? Are the elders in that region too set in their ways to change and so we have to target the 40-under crowd and strive for change in 10 years when they have dominant roles in society?

The ME needs to see that it can be done, democracy that is, and then maybe other countries will follow.

Good thread, it is making me think.
