Them's fightin' wurds in this territory, cowboy....And yet, I can't really argue with you. I see no real evidence of democracy in Afghanistan, I'm very suspicious of newest butchers in Baghdad, I think a real vote in Lebanon would see Hezbollah emerge as the dominant political force there, and the noises in Saudi Arabia and Egypt just that--noises meant to take our attention away from the fact that no fundamental change is going to take place there anytime soon.
"The claim that democracy is making progress in the Middle East is a fraud, the Lebanese opposition are not democrats, and if free elections were actually permitted, the country would be governed by Hezbollah, the author writes."
