Your question is flawed on several counts.The fact that the US "experiment" with democracy has succeeded and continues to do so is a wonder in and of itself. There were lots of chances for it to fail. (Some here would say it is on the brink of failing.) Why are Italy and Japan on your list when they only became democracies in the 1940s? Why don't you include Israel on your list, which is actually in the Middle East and actually did become a democracy overnight? (Oh wait, you ignore that question every time it gets asked of you in this thread.) How is the democratically elected government of Russia coming along? How many other countries' model of democracy is closer to that of Russia than that of the US, especially outside of the Western world? And you still haven't addressed the fact that a conservative leaning electorate (the organizers of the Tahrir Square protests are probably not representative of the Egyptian electorate at large, another fact you seem unwilling to confront or accept) isn't likely to vote in democracy as you understand it. |
