Quacky-Daffy of Libya; can democracy be bestowed by a well-aimed bullet?

It really depends on whether you see Khadfy as the "cause" of the problems or simply as an "effect". Can Libya move toward democracy with him gone? I am not sure just as I am not sure that Egypt can attain that goal.

Religion and religious fanaticism are a big part of the tinder box in that part of the world. I am not convinced that "democracy" and the democratic process are first and foremost in people's minds...at least not those who can make a difference. There is more behind these uprisings in the streets than currently meets the eye.

I think we will see some of that emerge soon and I am not so sure that we are going to like what we see. WB.

In the middle east, democracy is almost impossible to keep. Religion plays to big of a part in their lives and it always has. They may gain a bit of freedom by getting rid of people like the leader of syria but in the end it will only be temporary.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
