    Mez,
           Personally I don't see how you avoid that. I don't know of a single
    democracy in that part of the world excepting possibly Turkey. As you are
    from Eygpt perhaps you know of one -- I don't.
           Not only that but when I talk to my Moslem friends in my neighborhood
    they don't seem to have a big demand for a democracy. So tell me how we do
    this?
