President Putin Hails Election as "another step in strenthening democracy" I suppose that principally depends on your definition of democracy. As his is something close to - I'll do what I want, when I want, to whomsoever I care to - then I guess democracy was strengthened.

It would be nice though to point to a truly democratic country where democracy is working; Tony Blair carries on Thatcher's assault upon Britain's "unwritten constitution." Bush stole the election and then employed Ashcroft to steal democracy under the banner of Homeland Security. However, Churchill had a point: democracy is the worst form of government, except for all those others that have been tried here
