I look at the world today and realized that the western world's objective or philosophy is to democratize the world if we can eg. Iraq, China, Cuba etc. My question is does this earth have enough resources such as food, finance and energy to sustain democracy worldwide? Do we have the required systems to ensure that all humanity will be treated fairly and at the same time still live lavish lifestyles as we are accustomed to in a democratic environment? The world population is growing exponentially, life expectancy in developed countries is increasing and I see serious challenges ahead in terms of improving standards of living, generally, in areas such as China and India with a population of over 2 billion(collectively) with serious consequences.... and I have not even included isuues related to Africa in this eg. health. What are your thoughts?

We are not ready for a global democracy. Not every nation is at the same level socially or economically. In that respect democracy is not necessarily for everybody. nations evolve in develop in their won time and at their own pace.

It'll never happen. There are too many people on this planet with very different views. We can barely talk to some countries now, so do you actually think we could actually work under a democracy.
Also, Indias population will double in most of our lifetimes. If that gives another perspective on this.

In a single word, "NO."
