What new “democracies” like Egypt don’t understand is that it’s freedom, not democracy, that ensures prosperity and domestic tranquility. Simply having elections, when the government being elected has unlimited powers, results in the winning faction lording over the losing one.
It’s a real tragedy for the entire planet that America, with all the influence it has, or at least used to have, is out there promoting democracy when it is not democracy, but rather a constitutional republic with strong protection of property rights, contract rights and the rights of the minority that produces a prosperous, peaceful and happy society.
