If I wanted to start a fight, I'd put forth that these people might have gotten this "democracy" idea from somewhere.

Certainly not from us. Our policy has always been "Democracy is for white people."

I'm not sure I feel reassured that Mike Vick has a role in these protests...

Newly democratic state, in the Middle East, can't think of the name right now... starts with an I? It'll come to me eventually I'm sure.

The Egyptians are sort of honorary white. Like Jesus.

Somebody at least has figured out how to make this pay:

Al Jazeera English reports that protesters appear to be looting the ruling National Democratic Party headquarters in Cairo

Iran is a democratic state.

So's Palestine. They're probably both less corrupt than Afghanistan, but Iraq seems to be somewhat more on the up and up, at least for now.

Who decides, on the night of a riot, "I think I'll take the Buick and just nip downtown"?

GM couldn't have PAID for better product placement. Suck it Ford!

Iran is a democratic state.

After every vote is tallied by government officials... well, I'll be dammed, the people "voted" to keep things like they are!

Yikes. That was by the police and not the army, right?

(Of course, it's just as well, since Islam is not a religion of peace, right...? )

Which has what exactly to do with their system of government? I'm not arguing it's a vacation hotspot or anything.

People getting the hoses turned on them at prayer:

That was just a misunderstanding. The police thought thoe people were suffering from the tremendous heat and turned on hoses to help them cool off. Then they fired their guns in celebration, not anger...

The people were "waiting for the military to save them from the police" according to a protester.
