Moltar, you are truly a wonder. We imposed a dictatorship in the Philippines after killing hundreds of thousands of them, and Puerto Rico is STILL a colony!
Are you going to brag about Hawaii next?

Oh yes Tom, Iraqis just love their democratic government. Any other fairy tales you'd like to share?

Democracy can only be achieved when the majority of the people want it!

Nope. History's shown that such an ideal never works out the way our government said it would. Aside from Japan after World War 2, the attempt with Vietnam failed miserably.
As will this one--if it hasn't already.

I think the Democratization of Iraq has been a disaster.
And was in fact implemented with ulterior motives on the Bush administrations part.

ASk that of Japan. Iraqis seem to like it. Over 70% of them voted in the last national election.

Apparently Bush believes it. Or at least wants the people to believe he believes it. I'm not sure if I'd rather have a President who was stupid, or a President who was evil, so I'm not sure whether I'd rather believe he knows that's not the way to do it, or that he really thinks it is.

I believe a number of European immigrants did that in the Americas a few centuries ago.

How about Japan, Germany and to a lesser degree Russia?

I don't know, it worked in the South, after the Civil War of the US.

We did it in Puerto Rico. We did it in the Phillippines.
Just ask Spain.

The only problem we have, is that we were trying to implement "democracy" and not "liberty"! There is a world of difference.
