When you deny HBD, you are forced to come up with magical superhero bullshit like Friedman does here. If only Lee Kuan Yew had been placed in charge of Syria, Iraq, Libya, or Yemen, he seems to say, today that country would be prosperous westernized and pro-Israel. The populations are totally interchangeable, only the Great Leader matters.

“I’m pretty sure Libya, Syria, and Iraq are disasters due to foreign invasions and sanctions, not domestic policy.”

Really? Today Saddam would be what? Almost 80 years old. Kadhafi was what? 70′s. Assad was the son of the dictator.

Technology, Regime Age, and their failures made Islamic narrative, replacing the Socialist narrative, made the war inevitable.

For example, one thing that irritated many common Libyans is that for all its oil Libya was not “nice like Dubai”. In fact it was a dirty ugly country in worse state than when was under Fascist Italy. What is noticeable in Libya? Roman and Fascist Architecture and some old Turkish fort. The rest is a disgrace.
