Indeed, we tried to introduce democracy with mixed results. Quarantine may be the only realistic option.Democracy can work anywhere. In the case of Iraq and Afghanistan, we just tried to push it before the enemy was totally beaten.
As a society, we have become weak. We can watch 3000 fellow citizens die in flames, planes and jumping to their deaths and still not have the stomach to completely destroy the enemy who propigated those actions.

Democracy can work anywhere. Aren't you quite the optimist.
There are preconditions to democracy, and one of the is not having a majority of the population believing in the Caliphate as the correct way to govern.

Americans just aren't build to remember evil. Japan started releasing it's major war criminals in the early 1950’s, saying they were just following orders.
Not a peep from the US veterans organizations or politicians .....
