Let's not be dumb...Having an election does not a Democracy make. Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan are all Muslim States with Muslim Laws....
Libya is 97% Muslim. Anyone think it's EVER going to be a democracy??

Isn’t it interesting that the guy who ran around the planet apologizing for our interaction in emerging global democracies is now trying to use that excuse as an explanation for going around Congress?

"Democracy"? That's a poor system--the minority never has a chance in a Democracy.
What they need is a "Republic"....

You got it!
This will become the 21st century version of Vietnam. I have been saying this to people I know, that I feel like a little kid again and this is the 60’s all over again with what Obama is doing. BINGO we have a winner!
