Haamed Fakhro’s column ‘The power of strength’, (GDN, July 31) was a pleasure to read. I couldn’t agree more that advocates of democracy seem to ‘dream of democracy as the cure for everything’ yet it’s been proven time and again that the vast majority of people are quite like ‘a herd of sheep, each bleating to its own pace and rhythm!’
They are certainly not a homogenous bunch, nor are their views, dreams, desires, or aspirations synchronised .
