May be we should start a thread on what do we mean by democracy? I mean I was reading in the paper the other day about Iran's miniister stating that He would boycott with others because of interventions by the religious council (sp) I find that I am not really aware of Muslims in that area of the world were democratically ruled. Which also questions what forms of democracy exist in the world as a whole as well as what non democracratic governments exist? Let alone the notion of what kind of democracy would be acceptable to the US? Iraq? After all the USSR supposedly held elections to choose its leaders?
