I think it may have to do with the fact that people in the Middle East tend to be a lot more tribal culturally. Scale this up to the level of nations, however, you get the "strongmen" and favoritism which make these nations so much fun. Plus these people have probably never known democracy, so it's natural they gravitate to what they know when everything is in turmoil.English royalty aside, the colonists from England already knew of some form of representative government, so they simply had to build on that, minus the royalty. Even so, it still took them 7, 8 years to ratify the Constitution and set up the government more or less the way we know it now. |
