Today's image of the day in the extended entry comes courtesy of this article on the spread of democracy. The article itself is muddled, arguing that the push to "export" democracy has been suffering recent set-backs in Haiti and Iraq. However looking at the map if anything it looks like it has been a successful story - look at South America and Eastern Europe.

Most interesting is the area titled "Middle East". Note how there's a tiny sliver of "democratic" green in a sea of "not free" orange, hard up against the Mediterranean. Israel.
