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

Yeah sure, as Pogue Colonel said in Full Metal Jacket: "We are here to help the Vietnamese, because inside every gook there is an American trying to get out." I guess a strong kick in the ass and a good example is all that is needed.

It is great to watch democracy take root and mock the anti Bush liberals who opposed our efforts to free these people. If this all does work out, the anti Bushers will have a whole lot of explaining to do in about two years. "Hey, the middle east was going to be democratic any way, by it self, yeah, that's the ticket. Had nothing to do with that war."
