"Democracy isn't something you can bring to any society. It has to come from the society itself. People have to want it. It takes time until people understand what democracy is all about. A democratic country bombing the hell out of them to bring them democracy is not going to work, as is shown in the current situation in Iraq." -- [livejournal.com profile] maeglin_speaks 2004-11-03

Yup. [livejournal.com profile] maeglin_speaks is right on with that.

What do we think bombs will teach people about democracy?

What's amazing is that the US has had a 100% failure rate on imposing democracy for over 60 years now, and the government still insists on trying it over and over again.

Maybe we're teaching them that democracy erodes your brain.
