Er Iran et demokrati?
Scott Adams har et interessant indlæg på hans "Dilbert Blog" hvor han sammenligner det amerikanske styresystem med det iranske, og konkluderer at det på mange områder er ens:
(..)How’s that not as democratic as the system in the United States?
Granted, the Supreme Leader has a lot of power. But he’s not a dictator. He’s elected by people who are themselves elected. It reminds me of the Electoral College.
The Supreme Leader can effectively diddle with anything he wants under the umbrella of supervising the “general policies of the Islamic Republic of Iran." But that sounds a lot like our own Supreme Court, who are not elected officials. A lot of Americans think the Supreme Court is more active than it ought to be(..)
For undertegnede er spørgsmålet ikke om Iran er et demokrati, men om USA er det? Som det er nu skal man være kristen for at blive præsident i USA(!). Måske burde man klassificere landet som et teokrati - især efter at landet har droppet menneskerettighederne som fundament - i krigen mod terror(læs krigen for at Republikanerne kan blive ved magten)?
