A professor from China talked about this, from China! He's referring to what is happening in Egypt today. But he equates the turmoil with disparity with economic, among others, factor. Sure he's a professor, but don't he heard about Nepal? Until recently, it is country with monarchy system. Then they shifted to a full fledged democracy, but with the economy still not as strong as the west. Still there is nothing like Egypt.
The question here is, the elected leader is not sanctioned by the powerful one. This leader is a commoner in the circle of leaders. I wonder why on earth did this professor get the idea. Unless, I supposed, even China is now in the same league with the powerful one. Of course.

democracy of the people, by the people, for the people?
what happened in Egypt today really tells about democracy. Government in democracy is not about 'of the people, by the people, for the people (Abraham Lincoln, 1863). The man threw those words during war, for heaven sake. Today, it is not about rule of law, people respecting law and other rhetoric words that come out from the powerful one (I'm also looking at you, Uncle Sam). Democracy today means 'electing leader by means of arm who is endorsed by some other powerful one through the the voting process'. The consequence is simple, for those elected leaders but unwanted by the powerful one, remove them by arm, redo the orchestrated election and back the newly elected leaders using arm. Truly world is govern by certain powerful one.

most popular leaders in democracy, election world
I still remember how a previous leader in Egypt had a popular vote of almost 4/5. Forget about the 2/3 majority. With that kind of majority, he not only could amend whatever law that need 2/3 majority, but he could practically do anything. But, that was only next to what once a leader of Iraq received for a presidential 'yes' vote - 100%. I repeat, 100%. It happened not very long time ago.
So, this is democracy.
So, this is democracy.

Guided Democracy
Just like guided missile, guided democracy guides the people to certain (in favour of the guider) objectives. And also like the guided missile, it is destructive. It is also can be bought, like the missile. Am I talking rubbish? Just check about guided democracy on the net.

democracy in Turkey
Hello people of Turkey. Show us your definition of democracy. Is it all about a park? Really? Perhaps we need to turn to Linkin Park as well to have the insight of democracy!

democracy replaces democracy
There is a discussion in law text books about could a house of representative pass a law which could not be repel by a later session. Could a house pass a law which would harm a member of the very society they are supposedly represent? Could a winner of an election bring down by undemocratic forces then replace by a new winner through yet another election? What kind of questions are these. Rubbish democracy?

Egypt and democracy
I believe I had written not long ago about Greece and democracy. Today, Egypt shows us the fallacy of democracy. Forget about the theory on how minority can rules due to democracy's technical failure. Egypt shows that minority is indeed rules above the majority. Last time I showed how democracy could eventually lead people to self-destruction. Today Egypt shows that democracy is an indefensible system. It is the people with 'real' power who rules in any country.
What is democracy? The answer lies in Metallica's 'One'.
What is democracy? What is democracy?It got something to do with young men killing each other, ArthurWhat if its my turn, will you want me to go?For democracy, any man would give his only begotten son
Why do I chose Metallica's definition of democracy? Well, perhaps democracy is just like a heavy metal.
