The real solution to terrorism and chaos in Muslim nations is to support democratic changes. Unfortunately, decades of oppression, leaves these counties deprived of having any real organized democratic movement to replace current governments. The only organized alternative to the ruling parties are usually mosques which are controlled by fundamentalists. As a result any attempt to democratize, will help the fundamentalists gain control because people simply vote for the neighborhood Mullah. Iraqi elections and also the recent Egyptian parliamentary elections which resulted in victory of fundamentalists are just two examples. Editor
