When the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and Iran will be over and democracy has been established in these countries, NATO will invite them to join. Then in the long term the mid-east will become an ally to the west in the inevitable showdown with red china. Where Russia will align itself in this geopolitical chess game remains to be seen.
Saudi-Arabia and Israel will be invited to join NATO, thus paving the way for a permanent peace agreement between the Israelis and Arabs. Ultimately, should this strategy be successful, president Bush's legacy will be that of a major victor.

So are you saying people in Iraq should resist democracy? Or that we should not aim for democracy there. I would think these countries would be delighted to have it and NATO membership in addition.

It's a little bit to late to just worry about your own backyard when we are already in Iraq and Afghanistan and preparing for Iran.
