All I'm saying his that if you speak or think the word "democracy" with some sort of magical Humpty-Dumpty-esque pile of attached meanings you'll get blindsided when something like this happens. Democracy strictly means majority vote rules. Period. Any other meaning you assign is mythology.

That said: If you take anything I wrote as in any way approving of what the Afghani law is, I suggest you take a break and examine your presuppositions.
