Guess it depends on how you define "democracy."
According to my understanding of the term, there are none.
OTOH, that is not relevant to the point of this thread.
Israel claims to be the only "democracy" in the Middle East,
yet makes a religious / ethnic test necessary for citizenship
and treats non Jews as second class citizens - not the hallmark
of a democracy.
Or perhaps the point is that in the Middle East, all countries are
authoritarian, militaristic, theocracies and we should not have
a "special relationship" with any of them.
