I get the feeling that Molae is just out and out frustrated. That's part of the divide caused by the difference in ideologies.
In America we vote for someone who we hope is a good leader, but does not have the absolute say on any one issue concerning the nation because of separation of power.
In Countries where there is a true "ruler" (whether it be a miltary commander, emir, king, etc.) then no one is given a choice about who the leader is, and if they don't like it, the only way to correct it is through some bloody battle. On the other side of the coin, it can create a rabid loyalty which is not rational.
I can tell you I have no love of our current president, and I had no love of the president before him, but I do have a love of my freedom--the choice to vote or not to vote, to believe and practice my religion or cultural customs without someone killing me for it.
If someone has not had those options as part of their cultural history or their day-to-day lives, then it is very difficult to express just what those things mean without appearing arrogant. You cannot teach tolerance to someone who doesn't know what tolerance means.
