Lots of discussion on what Ms. Bhutto's death means for "democracy" in Pakistan.  I doubt if the majority of people in Pakistan want democracy.  World-wide, most people want their side to run things, period, and democracy is at best a means to that end.  This is true even in the US -- we've seen too many leaders in both parties who want "my way or the highway." 

Love it or leave it.  50.0001% majority is a mandate from the people for my agenda.

The Nazis and the Bolshies were perfectly willing to use democracy to gain power.  Anyone who wanted democracy after that, got taken out and shot.

Now why on _earth_ would you think I'd associate Bushies with Nazis?
