Hurray for democracy!

The results are in:

Hamas’ top official told Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas on Thursday the Islamic militant group is ready for a partnership after defeating the ruling Fatah Party in parliamentary elections — a shocking upset sure to throw Mideast peacemaking into turmoil.

Isn’t it wonderful that we have spent billions of dollars bringing democracy to Iraq? Democracy is so wonderful that it doesn’t even matter who it brings to power, what’s truly important is that everyone was able to vote!

I understand that voting not only cures cancer but also increases one’s sexual satisfaction. Other benefits include societal stability, because nothing says stability like government by Islamic militants.

It’s not racist to insist that democracy is bad for Arab nations. It’s demonstrably bad for Anglo-Saxon nations too.
