Look at the Palestinian elections. Democracy voted in Hamas to majority.
Hamas is a terrorist organization.

Democracy guarantees mob rule. The US, thankfully has a Republic, a
Constitution founded on individual liberty and an educated, peaceful people.

Democracy in the Middle East may be a backfiring policy. Palestine has
backfired. Will Iraq backfire too? Warring, theological tribalism is the
culture of the people.

W. Bush is promoting "democracy," when he should in fact be promoting
the formation of republics.
