I never said Australia was *not* a democracy. And - for
who cares - I am not saying that the USA is not a
democracy.
I am just trying to point that Iran *is* a democracy,
by deconstructing [:-)] every argument against this with
examples from *obvious* democracies that show that
Iran's "restrictions" to democracy are just "shades
of gray" of the analogous phenomena that happen in
the unquestionable democracies.
