Apple: “A democracy in Iraq is quite unlikely for now or any time soon”

It seems if one types in the word “Democracy” into Mac OS X’s built-in Dictionary widget, and then switches over to the thesaurus, you are given the following above usage of the word.
I just checked it on my powerbook and that is what it says

1. uh, that's the Thesaurus you're looking at there...

... just picking nits, though.

fyi - the dictionary and thesaurus Apple uses is the Oxford English Dictionary and Oxford English Thesaurus.

cool mac tip: hold down the apple key-ctrl-d when your cursor is over a word and it'll pop-up a teeny little dictionary... pretty cool.
