I guess Rockafeller forgets that Japan did quite well with this new idea of democracy after WWII.

That's a good point, especially as Rocky got his college degree in Japan Studies, and considers himself quite the expert on the region. Of course, he might say, the Japanese are not desert nomads, so that would make all the difference.

Japan had a democratic tradition prior to the 1930s, albeit an imperfect one. Iraq has no comparative democratic tradition. Conservatives have been become hopeless Wilsonian utopians. BTW, how is democracy doing these days in Afghanistan, Kosovo, and Haiti?
