Next Step in Middle East Policy

The United States must now step up its efforts to make peace in the Middle East.  This is a fractious area, with many socioeconomic groups.  The US must start to clean up its image by helping new governments on the path to democracy.  It will not be easy, and the will be obstacles, but this is better than the fight-and-replace model we have in Afghanistan and Iraq.  At least now the propel are motivated for change.  That energy needs to be harnessed for good.
