Order, Liberty and Equity

Conservatives are order seeking, liberals liberty seeking, and socialists are equity seeking. Reuters reports that Arab states are more concerned with security and are suspicious of the Bush Administration's liberty (democracy) agenda. Sounds like they're a buch of conservatives to me, looking to maintain the status quo, because like the monarchs of 19th century Europe, no one would think to put them in power otherwise.

America is a country born of revolution and always has been willing to rock the boat a little bit for freedom. Why should the US give more than a passing concern for the conservative forces of the Arab world?
