So, this poor guy may be murdered by the state for converting from Islam to Christianity. This is apparently normal for countries governed by Islamic law.
The three things that have preserved the U.S. best, perhaps, are: (a) the constitutional provisions that allow for transition of government, (b) the portions of the bill of rights dealing with free speech and freedom of religion, and (c) an independent judiciary with right to declare laws or administrative actions unconstitutional.
Don't you think, as a matter of spreading democracy, we could insist on a commitment to each from countries that we are helping?
