The Economist really can pick stupid fights, as this rather batty piece on how America should react in the Middle East - by making all the Arab countries into democracies. Doesn't that remind you of Ann Coulter's call to convert their people to Christianity?

If Arabs really want democracy they'll take it. It's none of our business to help or hinder them.

Good to see that they recognise that Iran is on the way to becoming a democracy.
