The Muslim Middle East  :    is there a democratic option?/

<br/><br/> A democratic opening in the Muslim Middle East is all too likely to bring to power profoundly antidemocratic groups that are virulently and possibly violently hostile to the U S.  This article will argue much of the Muslim world perceives and defines as a clash if not a war of civilizations.  The implications for American policy and the stability of the Middle East  and the peace of the world are massive and in all probability dire.  The next implication is that militant Islam is not a new phenomenon and this is not a new conflict.
