Unfit for Democracy? - NYTimes.com - 1 views

  • I don’t think so. Moreover, this line of thinking seems to me insulting to the unfree world. In Egypt and Bahrain in recent weeks, I’ve been humbled by the lionhearted men and women I’ve seen defying tear gas or bullets for freedom that we take for granted. How can we say that these people are unready for a democracy that they are prepared to die for?
  • The common thread of this year’s democracy movement from Tunisia to Iran, from Yemen to Libya, has been undaunted courage.

    Scott I totally agree with you. What has been going on in these countries is nothing short of inspiring.
