There Is a History of Democracy in the Middle East
Yes, democracy is possible in the Middle
East . In fact, democracy
has had few but important manifestations in the Middle
East . Mohammed Mossadegh
was a democratically elected leader in 1952 in Iran . Our CIA ousted him and installed a tyrant in Iran , i.e. the
Shah. In the early 90s, Algeria elected a democratic government that was
replaced by a military junta supported by France and given political
blessings by our government.
