Re: Hamas sweeps to election victory

I think that there is nothing wrong with exporting democracy... provided the people want it. In Iraq's case, the majority of Iraqis despised Saddam Hussein. However, in order for successful democracies to thrive, they have to fit within the culture of their adoptive countries. You can't have an American style democracy in the Arab world. It's impossible, Islam has to be included in their governments. Everybody should have the right to chose who they want to represent them.
