C-Span has carried a panel discussion of the present conditions in Iraq held at the Atlantic Council in Washington, DC. recently. It appears they are learning lessons on how a democratic government functions.
What seemed so marvelous, as brought out in their discussion is the Iraqis can't make sense of who legislators represent in their legislature. They seem to think that because the legislators are government workers, they must be representing the Iraq administration! They apparently don't realize that they don't have to protest in the streets to make the central government aware of their demands, they've got legislators working on their behalf to communicate their viewpoints to the administration!
