“No democratic government should ever assume that arguments for democracy or for the rule of law are somehow obvious or self-evident.

Democratic media, civic organizations, and politicians need to argue back and make the case for transparency, accountability, and liberty--at home and around the world.” DemocracyChaosAccountabilityStabilityTransparencyRule Of LawAuthoritarianismGovernmentsDictatorshipsDemocratic Governments Book:Autocracy, Inc.
