Very long, but very interesting article contemplating the difference between democracy and liberalism (as in constitutional liberties). I'd love to hear your thoughts, comments, etc. with regard to this article! I think it has some bearing on the elections that are to be held in January in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Yes, the European and the American way of thinking as you probably know is somewhat different. In certain things, Americans think as we did decades ago!
well about spreading democracy this a point that can be discussed, because basically the West thinks it should impose their sort of view upon people who are used to live and think otherwise. That means...it is almost a sort of missionaries to the people.
It is up to the people-with our help if needed, but not Iraq-like to make a difference.
We in West got it, and undoubtedly everyone get his rights as he wishes somehow.
when we make make people angry, of course we will get fanatics.
