I don't know - we have to equate the psyche of a nation that has been abused by decades of tyranny and a dictatorship in addition to the accepted ways of life in the mideast to make that determination. Is it comparable on a mass scale to an abused or battered woman or someone who was tortured? How long does it take to regain some type of rational thought - especially in the current setting? How long will it take for them to rid themselves of the shock, of the fear of death that has gripped them, many since birth - that they have been living with everyday for so very long? Personally, I have no idea, but I don't think we are that close yet. They are probably scared to death, and rightly so, that the next president is gonna leave them as soon as possible once s/he takes office.
