        In the long run, both Syria & Saudi Arabia should have free elections. But what's most important was omitted from discussion. @izanabayerman

        The protection of individual rights -- the noninitiation-of-force principle -- is more important than democratic voting. @izanabayerman

        If people can democratically vote for their leaders but rights are not respected, we end up with "illiberal democracy." @izanabayerman

        I try to explain to people that the USA is free insofar as it is a constitutional liberal republic, not a democracy. @izanabayerman

        Yes, the choice to seek freedom is not a passive one. It is an active-minded choice that requires renewed commitment. @izanabayerman

        @Snowden @polkatwitt The Saudi Ambo comes across as a lying knucklehead--though, to be fair, the West also has many similar diplomats.
