Seems doubtful. Indeed, it seems doubtful that the American Congress can do anything without ripping off American taxpayers. And judging from recent bills, it seems doubtful that Congress even reads the laws it enacts, along with the President. Why do we try to export American democracy? Ours is an oligarchy, much like Iran's. Thank God (or Allah if you prefer) for our Bill of Rights.
