But instead of facing that, you say that these questions are something an eight grader would come up with. Well that would be an eighth grader that put a lot more thought into this issue than you have. Why don't you answer these simple eigth grade questions.
You said that is was bigoted or racist to try and impose democracy on the middle ease. Now all of a sudden you have admited that Democracy is good for the Middle East in the long run. Just admit that your statement was stupid and lets move on. But don't try and pretend we were arguing about something else. We were arguing about your statement - nothing else.

Look, Spank, I don't really think anything substantive is being discussed. I never said it was bigoted or racist to impose democracy on the ME (though it may be unwise). I was trying to make a subtle point, and I missed, apparently. When it gets to this point, I've found it's best to just let it drop.
