Re: democracies

If the whole world were using the democratic principles as we know them, it would be great!
However, it's not the case. Besides, democracies aren't either perfect but instead are perfectible.
There constantly are adaptations to our constitutions. There constantly are situations that sound unfair, unjust and need to be corrected, even within the rules approved by democracies.
That's why it's quite hard for us to give lessons to non-democracies.
I'm not going to blame the Arabs, as human beings, for not living in democracies.
There are hopes like Turkey and Marocco. Others might follow the trend, but it transcends the individuals and will take time. Perhaps it could happen much faster, in a domino effect.
