It will succeed in long run... may be the transition should be less bloody... kings should start a slow transfer of power process.
I disagree, the Western Model cannot work in the Middle East because it does not account for Tribal and Sectarian affinity. There needs to be a strong, central power figure to ensure national cohesion, otherwise these societies congregate around smaller centres of power and break up into smaller groups. Present day Iraq has been 'Liberated' for about a decade now and I feel no hesitation in saying that they are worse off than they started. It is now on the verge of a Sunni/Shia/Kurd division.
