[Middle East Times] Editorial - Of the 22 members of the Arab League, hardly one can truly claim to practice democracy as it is understood by the West. Eight of the 22 - Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE - have hereditary rulers; monarchies where the power passes from father to son, or brother to brother.

You'd be hard pressed finding more than one or two. 2008-04-07 01:00:00Full Article
