Lamenting democracy

You have to see the lamentations and recriminations against Pakistan in Saudi media.Jamal Khashoggi (who fought with Bin Laden in Afghanistan before discovering the virtues of Saudi Wahhabi liberalism and media person for Prince Al-Walid, after being the media person of Prince Turki Faysal, after being the media person of Prince Khalid Al-Faysal, who is cited often in Western media explains to his somber audience today: "it is democracy", he tells them. Democracy is the misfortune of House of Saud. Saudi regime can buy the various Lebanese writers that you read in English and Arabic but they can't buy the people of Pakistan and their elected representatives (despite having fought Nawaz Sharif years ago).
