Well, Megatron was a pansy .
I'm not dismissing their obvious desire for change, and considering how close the vote was, it's clear change is in their horizon. I'm merely stating my disappointment with the vote is all. You don't think strict Islamic law might set back the time-machine for a full generation or more? It seems to me they were closer to democracy before their civil war than they are going to be under this new strict Islamic law. Did they make progress? Yes. Was it enough? Not yet. Will the progress continue? Not if conservative Islamist's get elected throughout the arab-spring areas and enforce their form of martial law, reducing all the hard-earned Democracy to rubble. But I'd like to believe you're right. As you put it, time will judge.
