I am quite happy to agree to disagree.
If you spend some time in the middle east, preferably one of the more enlightened countries, you would understand my comment about the locals preferring another model to democracy.
I prefer democracy too, but am quite prepared to accept it is not a universal panacea.
These comments are not made to start off the thread again, simply to respond to your 'speechless' state and to provide some context.
