Good point. Democracy, as an ideal, needs to be demanded, not enforced. Countries like Iraq, who have had dictatorial government enforced upon them for years, cannot learn to be 'democratic' by invading it and horrendously destroying its infra-structure

For a democracy to be successful...yes it must come out of the people's innate desire to be free. So yes technically you are right.
However a little outside encouragement and support (within reason, and assuming the people actually want democracy) wouldnt hurt, especially if the people in question have no experience with democracy whatsoever and the existing social and political order is extremely hostile to the democratic process.

Democracy is education itself. How can you be free if you don't know what is going on . Few rich lobbyist in the USA have kidnapped the USA democracy for years now and most Americans don't even know tat fact."Every time we do something you tell me America will do this and will do that . . . I want to tell you something very clear: Don't worry about American pressure on Israel. We, the Jewish people, control America, and the Americans know it." -- Ariel Sharon to Shimon Peres, October 3rd, 2001, as reported on Kol Yisrael

That's a little difficult sometimes when you have a dictator who will kill you and your family for expressing your opinion about the weather. Sometimes people need to be liberated because a revolution is impossible before millions of people die. Remember that little Germany thing about 70 years ago with millions of Jews being baked in ovens. Remember Sadaam Hussein burying a half million people in a mass grave. Get in the game kid.

Gee. I don't know. Where did Germany's and Japan's democracies come from.
I was going to include Italy, but I'm not too sure about how they survive the chaos the happens over there every so often (but it's been better lately).

democracy is a government ruled by the people. so if a democracy is set up for them and they don't like it.. they have the option to over throw it.
