Unfit for Democracy? - NYTimes.com
Nicholas Kristoff never fails at writing an interesting article that is sure to provoke many. This time, it discusses Democracy in the middle east.
Yes, democracy could be messy in Yemen but just as much as it is in America. The form of government should be what the people want their desires. What are they asking for? is it Democracy? if so, then let em have it!
Who are we to tell the people of Libya, Yemen, Egypt, Bahrain, and etc that democracy is unfit for them!? even our own "democratic state" can't seem to provide a good example of what "Democracy" looks like. so why do we even think we can advise countries on their political system when our government can't even advise themselves?. We should be looking at ourselves first before we start pointing fingers. Perhaps maybe the arab nations will end up providing a better example of what democracy really looks like.
