Democracy doesn't have to mean peace

Nathan Sharansky is hopeful about the prospects for democracy in the
Middle- East with continued military success in lraq . What he should
be worried about are the prospects for continued peace with the success
of democracy. There is nothing to stop a democratic Middle-East from
democratically deciding to kill the Vars. Indeed, that maybe the
winning ticket in some of those countries. That might be the royal road
to electoral success in some of those places. Instead of competing on
the basis of who can best deliver peace and prosperity the may compete
on the basis of war and dead Jews. It didn't seem to hurt the Nazis.
