To really be a democracy you don't just have to have elections .. you have to continue to have elections.

Correct, and perhaps more importantly (at least in the ME), you've gotta let women vote. If this ever gets done, we will probably find out that the current rules restricting women's rights are not what the normal Arab rulers call them "part of our culture that you should be more tolerant of", but are actually what any objective observer would call them - enslavement.

Let Saudi women vote, and you will quickly see that they don't think it should be part of "their unique Arab culture" to prohibit them from being in public on their own.

If you notice, the Arabs saying "you outsiders stay out of our local Arab cultural practice" are usually the ones benefiting from the practice.
