Yeah. That is precisely it. They have to find their own way. However, to imagine that democracy is the universal formula qua its popular foundation is utterly naive. There is a common denominator among these countries, which is that each of them has several subgroups which might not be inclined to support the centre despite its potential legitimacy. This is because these groups have a strong sense of identity which does not fluctuate around say a Libyan or Syrian identity. Thus, these groups might not believe in the democracy gained legitimacy. It has been argued before that the only reason why Yugoslavia kept together was because of its strongman Tito.
I doubt all of it. In fact, the claim that democracy might bring legitimacy is false as it is based on Western democratic values and understandings. Arabs might have different roots to legitimacy. For many years, the Iranian government might have been legitimate qua their position on religion. The Saudi Arabian is legitimate as caretakers of the holy sites. The Chinese is based on growth.
I do not agree in the notion that rhetoric prompts violence. Muslim minorities have been targets in all of Europe including Scandinavia, yet you have only seen this in France.
Just a perhaps unimportant note, but the plane MIG is abbreviated MiG and stands for Mikoyan-Gurevich.
