Are any of you surprised by this?

These are the results of a poll on my favorite website, CrimeLibrary.com

Is pushing democracy in the Arab world a waste of time?
Yes. 84.35%
No. 11.74%
Don't know. 3.91%

Even though I voted yes, and even though most people are now at least relatively anti-War in Iraq, I was really surprised that a staggering 84% of respondents think spreading democracy in the Arab world is a waste of time. I happen to be of the opinion that spreading American democracy is just one facet of spreading American culture, and therefore geocentric and kind of confusing (culturally and politically) to those on the other end of things. But I was also under the impression that Americans in general are big fans of democracy, and happy to spread it like fairy dust across the planet. Which makes me think that the people who responded to this poll are not necessarily against the idea of spreading democracy in the Arab world, but against our three-year-long and seemingly unending involvement in the Middle East.

Which left me wondering, is CrimeLibrary and/or its readers particularly left-leaning? I read CrimeLibrary every day, and it has never struck me as politically liberal, or politically anything. Just straight facts. It's possible that its readers are largely leftist, but I can't come up with a reason why, since it's affiliated with Court TV, which to me would likely grab the attention of people from across the political spectrum.

Aaaanyway, I'd be interested to get feedback from other people.
