As for democracy in the middle east - forget it. There is only one democracy in the region and that's Israel. There is not one muslim country I can name which is a democracy, anywhere....in fact, I've just been reading the Evening Telegraph website. It seems our muslim friends have been up to some dodgy goings on with the postal vote...in Blackburn. So much for democracy. Aparently the cops are not pressing charges - they have more important things to do, like stopping motorists & telling them to remove the Cross of St George.
