Bhutan adapting to Democracy

CurrentTV has posted a touching short video on Bhutan, the unspoiled, mountainous kingdom that just held the first elections for its 47-seat parliament on March 24. As you'll see in the video, the Bhutanese are a little unsure what to make of this whole "democracy" thing, and many are unhappy about the recent arrival of another Western innovation: television! Will "westernization" end up destroying the "Gross National Happiness" index?


«The most powerful weapon America has is not nuclear bombs but "westernization"»
Couldn´t agree more, for the good and for the bad! Our culture is indeed the most powerful weapon we have and we should use it against our "enemies", since we´ve been talking recently about it...
