In praise of Destabilisation

Mark Steyn describes in JPostthe tsunami of destabilisation begun in the MiddleEast:

"Three years ago, those of us in favor of destabilizing the Middle East didn't have to be far-sighted geniuses: it was a win/win proposition. As Sam Goldwyn said, I'm sick of the old cliches, bring me some new cliches. The old cliches – Pan-Arabism, Ba'athism, Islamism, Araftism – brought us the sewer that led to September 11th. The new cliches could hardly be worse. Even if the old thug-for-life had merely been replaced by a new thug-for-life, the latter would come to power in the shadow of the cautionary tale of the former."

Caroline Glick views this in the same issue of JPost from the angle of the democratisation in progress ( except, perhaps, in Israel itself...).
