Democracy in the Arab world?
Reader comment on item: Turmoil in Tunisia
Submitted by yuval Brandstetter MD (Israel), Jan 18, 2011 at 08:04
Democracy: One person, one vote, repeat every four years
Arab democracy: One man, one vote, one time
Arab democracy is delusion. Try Lebanon for the best application of the democratic principles and go south from there.
