We should have a huge say regarding what becomes of the new government simply because of the aid money provided each year. However with the current climate of self-loathing for America's past this administration has shown I can only hope and cross my fingers.

self-loathing? i'm not quite sure what you mean...i do think our foreign policy went way off track in the last few years, and it could use some serious attention. we have a real opportunity to nudge countries over there in the right direction. we haven't set a great example lately of democracy in action with our heavy-handed ways. but with greater information flowing, hopefully people will want real democracy there, and not exchange one type of dictatorship with another. gulf '91 was one of our shining moments in that region. we haven't shone much over there since then.
