Michael Rubin still believes that Democracy will work in Iraq. After reading book by Natan Sharansky I was a huge believer that implanted Democracy would win over the repressive mind. Sharansky believes that all repression and despotism in a government can be overcome with Democracy. Sharansky cites his own experience in Russia. When Communism fell in the Soviet Union, Democracy became the new form of government.
Sharansky points out that Western style Democracies observe the rule of law. Sharansky points out that Western style Democracies rarely war with each other.
I still agree with Sharansky’s assessment; however I do not believe a civilization inculcated with Mohammedanism cannot operate within the realm of Western Democracy.
Rubin believes that Democracy can still succeed in Iraq. Rubin believes the only reason Democracy has taken in Iraq is because of the incompetence of Prime Minister Maliki to enforce the rule of law according to their Constitution. In a civilization in which blood feuds and Sharia Law is the rule of law, then Western style Democracy will not work.
