    I guess that is the thing, isn't it. What is the lesser of two evils. A dictator who actually kept the peace in the country or a democracy run by radicals?

    A democracy because it was elected by the people and all people around the world have the fundamental right to elect there leader.

    But:
    1) Those elections could be rigged
    2) The candidates all suck
    3) A dictatorship under the guise of a democracy (Syria and Libya)

    So could any elections, so... invalid point.
    Still, not a reason not to choose democratic elections. And it seems that the Egyptian people disagree.
