AddReply(137696,"As Hornic correctly points out","Phil Safran","California","12/28/04","it is the question of who is monitoring Palestinian democracy and holding it accountable.  If it is Jimmy Carter, forget it.  He always gives a clean bill of health to murderous dictators.  Even George Bush was twice smitten with Abu Mazen fever.  That is the condition where they see Abu Mazen as the great peacemaker, moderate, democrat etc. when there is no indication he is really any of those things.");
AddReply(137695,"A necessary cautionary note","Shalom Freedman","Jerusalem, Israel","12/27/04","This piece rightly points out the dangers of a too easy and simple application of the \' Democracy will change all \' formula. The points on the problems Russia is now having are illuminating.Anyway who knows Dostoevsky\'s The Grand Inquisitor whose Russian people prefer the security of Authority to real freedom would have understood the Russian case not easy. As for the Arab world the danger is that the US will apply a simplistic formula to legitimize the Palestinians and press Israel for concessions. This is the point where all of us including Scheransky should be paying special attention.");
AddReply(137693,"Democracy is not the Answer","Yaqov","Jerusalem, Israel","12/27/04","Another example of assimilation of foreign cultures by the Jews, mostly Ashkenazi who come from the West, is their endless and blind support of the system of Democracy, which is not the system put forth in the Torah. The Torah is a theocracy, not a democracy, with a judge who has direct connection to Y-K-V-K at the top. For Jews to align with the West is no more natural than for us to align with the Arabs. Return to true Torah and the expulsions will stop. Wake up Israel!");
AddReply(137694,"NOW WHAT ?","KAHANE W. RIGHT","","12/27/04","Here is what Islamic democracy REALLY portends: KORANIMALS democratically voting to exterminate the Jewish pigs and monkeys ! Democracy will NOT reform Islam. Bush and Sharansky don\'t have a clue. Maybe after NYC and Tel Aviv are nuked this politically correct \'Islam is peaceful\' and \'democracy is the answer\' nonsense will cease.");
AddReply(137692,"Liberals\' Values","David","Netanya","12/27/04","The liberals in America are promoting the values that the Muslim world fears and detests.  Promiscuity, anti-religion, and non-respect for tradition.  So why should other countries want to emulate the U.S.?");
AddReply(137691,"Well said","marcia","CA","12/26/04","In addition, democracies are not necessarily moral. For example, if the reports are true, the local elections in the palestinian areas just \"elected\" a number of Hamas.  Not exactly what was hoped for by most of the proponents of democratizing the middle east.  ");
AddReply(137690,"Sharansky","observer","","12/26/04","Sharansky forced the goverment to turn down the proposal to cancel the infamous clause on grandchildren in the Law of Return. He is responsible for the present flooding of Israel by non-Jews in disguise of \"Olim\".\nAnd this is at the time when the percent of Jews in Israel steadily decreases. Actually, the latter is THE main threat to the existence of the Jewish state, and not Palestinians or the military force of Arab states. ");
