The multifaceted push by the George W. Bush to
inject more democracy into the Middle East—a set of policies sometimes
grouped under the label of the “Freedom Agenda”—has generated much

positive consequence of those policies, while critics could still point
to some glaring negative consequences.http://nationalinterest.org/blog/paul-pillar/backhanded-democratization-the-middle-east-9669
