Well, isn't this a classic case of overanalization! (sic, but not really)

It's so easy to look in 20-20 hindsight and come up with a graduate thesis.

Bhutan recently announced that it was becoming democratic in the last couple months for the first time in recorded history. How does that fit into this thesis? It wasn't mentioned. Most people don't know because our MSM won't report good news.

Let me save a lot of graduate students tens of thousands of dollars on education. Democracy works! It doesn't have to be analyzed or studied. It doesn't need to have an American face.

It is the free-will nature of man-kind.

Correct. Give people REAL free will and a good example (the USA) and they will naturally gravitate toward a democratic government.

Or not. Study some history, read some classic political thinkers like Plato, Aristotle or Machiavelli. You do not need "of thousands of dollars" for it. "Save a lot" by buying the books on Amazon or better yet by getting them online:

Discourses

The Republic

A Treatise on Government
