The dawn of Democracy

Quote:Apparently you are not up to date about modern anthropology. Nowadays it is far from sure that mankind derives from Africa. See Dmanisi etc. Afro-Asian Steppe etc.

That our genetics trace back to Africa is the most widely acknowledged theory to date. Doesn't mean that there's total agreement just as there isn't in the theory of evolution.

Quote:And in certain ways certain cultures may be more "successful" or more satisfactory for their members than other cultures for theirs.
The major problem in all of this discussion is that certain countries are by far not secularized enough (politically and on a personal level of the majority of it´s inhabitants) to produce a broad academically believeable and methodologically unquestionable base for scientific cooperation.

Thank you for throwing around broad sweeping generalisations that have become enshrined in the framework of Orinetalism.

Let me translate for the readers exactly what you are saying:
Middle Easterners are too backward, primitive and religous to accept Democracy.

Very similar broad sweeping generalisations were being made about the Arab's semitic brothers the Jews in Hitler's Germany which were then used to justify their final solution.

Let's also conveniently forget the fact that the US foreign policy which ties US miltary and economic hegemeony against a strong dollar tied to the selling of world oil in US dollars prefers installing "strong men" and dictators in the Middle East while assassinating and removing moderates.
