It’s another one of the poor outcomes of the Bush Administration insistence on democracy. Voting gives a voice to the people, which is a good thing only if the people themselves are good. The people of Gaza voted in Hamas! The military of Turkey is pretty secular and does not like the re-islamization of their country all that much. I don’t know why we stopped backing up strongmen in these countries to do what is best for America...

"The people of Gaza voted in Hamas!"

The people of the GOP voted in McCain and the people of the US voted in Zer0.

Just so as we have discovered of late.

“Voting gives a voice to the people, which is a good thing only if the people themselves are good.”

You mean, like when they are NOT recruited by ACORN?
