GUIDED DEMOCRACY
Reader comment on item: Turmoil in Egypt
Submitted by PAUL JEFFERY (Australia), Feb 1, 2011 at 06:40
I agree that the various militaries [warlord culture] that dominate the Middle East will prevail. But the Egyptians don't want a Lebanese future,or Finlandisation.
The only long term solution for the next crop of warlords is a form of guide democracy like in Singapore.
