Democracy Can Work In The Middle East

by: James Sullivan

The Middle East is the heart of the world. When we think of the Middle East we think of where
the world all began and where all the different religions evolved from. The countries of the Middle East are filled with ancient history and artifacts, it's where the Hinduisms Veda, the Muslims Koran, the Christians Bible and the Jews Torah all came from. It should be the most peaceful holy place on earth but unfortunately it is not. Most of the Middle East is filled with dictatorship and communist like governments that prevent a large part of the Middle East from enjoying their freedom and to be able to think for themselves, instead their governments tell them how to think. It is also filled with religious hate caused mostly by the religious radicals and fueled by the communist input in the dictatorship governments.

When God created man and woman he gave each of them a mind of their own, so they could worship him and think for themselves. But then came along a group of people who decided to create Communist Governments, where they would control the thoughts of others and not give the people of their country the right to live or think for themselves. They took away their freedoms and used fear, mind control and torture to scare the individuals of their country into submissive behavior, so they would be too afraid to overthrow their governments and create a Democracy.

Three countries come to mind where I believe highly intelligent people have allowed their governments to control their lives and take away their freedoms, they are China, Iran and Cuba. Most of the people that live in these dictatorship communist countries chose to run rather
than fight. They move to Europe, Canada and the USA to escape Communism and enjoy a life of Democracy.


Other Countries in the Middle East would benefit greatly from following in the footsteps of Iraq
and overthrowing their dictatorship communist governments and creating a democracy type government, where the people run their own governments and not the dictators.

Democracy does work, if you don't believe it look at Canada and the USA they are free countries that have many different races and religions living side by side and living in peace.
