Not to comment on the destruction of democracy is in itself an act equal to or greater than that destruction itself. Democracy is not a right granted by any ruler or god but it is a right that was ripped from the hearts and souls of many rulers and many gods.
Today, we find at least two democratic elections under attack - Israel is attacking the Palestinians because they elected the “wrong” leaders - i.e. those not acceptable to Israel. And the European nations are threatening Iran for the same reason - the Iranian people elected the “wrong” leaders.
It is noteworthy that America is foremost in the countries that have castigated both Palestine and Iran. Are we seeing an establishment by implication of an "approval power" that must be met by all newly elected governments, that power being the American ruling establishment?
