I will go back to what Barry Goldwater said 50 years ago.

He watched the mania of the UN and the US Foreign Policy Community for the decolonization of Africa and other places, and called it a fools' errand. He said that all that decolonization would accomplish would be to create a playground for the CIA and KGB. He stated that there are some people who are not ready for democracy, and who would never be ready for democracy due to cultural and religious reasons. The best that could be hoped for was a benevolent dictator, preferably one loyal to the US, not the Soviets.

The Mainstream Media excoriated him for "illiberal thinking", but he called it right.

cultural and religious

A look at IQ rates for some of those places confirms the same. They can't actually grasp the concept of democracy and individual liberty. Moslems need to be RULED.

From where I sit he might have got it right.
