Senator, you should use the occasion and explain the definition of democracy to President Ahmadi Nejad of Iran-in very simple terms of course by saying in a democracy:
1. you are not allowed to have a prison called “Political Prison”.
2. you are not allowed to put in jail your political opponents; torture; or kill them.
3. you can only be a politician and assume a political position by your own merits and NOT with stronger weapon you hold.
