Functioning Democracies? Jordan has a king and it's not just ceremonial... Egypt has a virtual dictator... Turkey is trying desperately to join the EU, but the supreme court is controlled by Sharia law... Lebanon can't even asert it's own influence WITHIN it's own borders. So you tell ME which country is a functional democracy in that region!
