<I'm not so dogmatic that I believe governments don't swing from democracy to authoritarianism (or oligarchy) from time to time... Why are you?>

perhaps, because I come from a country that has had a democratic government, for about 55 years of its existence, with no obvious need for authoritarian take-overs.

the comment above does not negate comments made in my earlier posts : let each country determine what its comfortable with. No outsider has the right to impose a different system.

cheers, kumar
