Now that the business day is almost over, and my mind is about to play games, I would like to come up with a simple theory explaining the logic behind the military interventions of the U.S. and other Western powers in the Middle East. Those are normally aimed at non-democratic countries (Iraq, Lybia, Syrian and Iran). Based on the recent experience, it would be fairly accurate to project that such interventions normally result in such countries becoming non-countries a.k.a. failed states. These are entities with dysfunctional central governments, or no central governments at all, controlled by warlords and living off chaotic economies. I.e. non-democratic countries become non-democratic non-countries. Logically, the negatives cancel one another and produce an affirmative. It means, that a non-democratic non-country roughly equals a democratic country. Same logic applies to the notion of prosperity. Based on the above, I can conclude that the military interventions in question have been successful, as they have produced the desirable result, which is democratic countries. QED.
