That's a nice wish but unfortunat
ely I doubt its true. The US has manipulated the middle east since the 50's. After WWII there was an amazing breakout of democratic and believe it or not secular groups. Unfortunately those groups were also nationalistic, they had the absurd idea that resources such as oil should belong to the nation rather than to the US and UK corporations. So that made them communists in the US viewpoint. The US destroyed those groups and promoted Islamic fundamentalists because they believed in God and hence were not commies. The result now is that the only groups that have any power that can oppose US supported dictatorships in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and elsewhere are extreme Islamic fundamentalists. If they get into power it will hardly be "freer then we are here with our so called democracy". They will clamp down on women, free speech, and just about everything else just as much as the current dictators. We've already seen an example in Iran.
