Larry Diamond helps us understand why and how democracy actually progresses in his new book The Spirit of Democracy: The Struggle to Build Free Societies throughout the World. The desire for democracy runs deep, he shows, even in very poor countries and in the turbulent Middle East. And through expanding economic freedom, civic mobilization, and the development of "liberation technology,"even seemingly entrenched regimes like those in Iran and China could well become democracies within a generation.

In addition to colors, there will be LUNCH and SWEETS at the event. The delicious food will be from Royal India restaurants.

EVERYONE'S INVITED - bring your friends, family, roommates etc. The more the merrier and lesser color on your clothes.

Thanks to GSA for funding this event. Thanks to Royal India for giving us a great deal.

Please come enjoy the food and write reviews on your blogs as a note of thanks :)
