That's a real sad remark. Its going through the pains of trying to be a real democracy. Give it a chance. People in the ME are not from or in the stone ages, including those in Iran.
a345xx screw democracy when the majority will vote for someone who belongs to none other than their form of the religion rather than voting with their conscience. iran found that out the hard way when they voted in a puppet whose strings a tugged by a mullah who has his twisted interpretation of religion. look where they are now? bahrain is unfit for pure democracy due to it's toxic demographics. another ten more years of gradual change might do the trick....or not.
