Is Iraq a "bad democracy?" Do you know what a bad democracy is, as opposed to a good democracy? Oh, sorry, you thought that all democracies were good. Right? Well, let me suggest to you that Lebanon is an example of democracy, ruled by its elected leaders, Hamas. Is that country a good democracy, or a bad one?
As a democracy they hate the United States and sponsor terrorism
against their neighbors (Israel, for example). So there is such a thing as a bad democracy, i.e., one in which the radical elements have seized control by popular vote and are running amok with few
if any of the attributes of a "good democracy" which promotes freedom, equality, and living in peace with its neighbors. So is IRAQ a "bad democracy?" Are we in the process of seeing Iraq turn into another problem just like the palestinians in Lebanon?
