To the Editor:

In “Another View,” you set a goal of explaining free expression to people who never enjoyed the right. Sorry, that won’t be enough. We also will have to explain respecting the rights of the minority.

The Muslim protesters have learned that when democracy brings them leadership, it also brings the same power that their former oppressors once used. There also are some things we must learn. One of the first things will be that if we wish to have a relationship with the leader of a country who has gained power through democracy, but does not have a perfect understanding of democracy, we may be challenged with educating someone not interested in taking lessons.
