   Angie just posted this question:

     Hi Professor Rummel. I've read your stuff in the past and was just
     wondering if you had thought about posting something that counters
     the recent media criticism that I've seen where someone mentioned
     that Israel and Lebanon are both democratic. I forgot the reporter,
     but it seems like someone was questioning the validity of the
     proposition by yourself and President Bush (I have read that he has
     read Natan Sharansky's book on democracy) that greater democracy is
     a solution to global violence.

     Will you counter that question at all?

   I have. My post on this is [1]here. As to both Israel and Lebanon
   being democratic, see this [2]post also.
