Blair: I didn’t know that there was another idea of
democracy..
Humphrys: If I may say so, that’s naïve in the view of many people..
Blair: The one basic fact about democracy, surely, is that you
can get rid of your government if you don’t like them.
Humphrys: The Iranians elected their own government, and
