Well,nothing good can ever come out of invading other people's countries.The extent of reach and effect of "Western democracy" still remains to be seen anyhow.

Democracy will fall soon enough.
Think: Ancient Rome was democratic, where are they at now? </3
But, it's better than totalitarianism, I guess.
Good luck?

The Baathist regime was indeed a terrorist regime, however it was a functional government its violence was primarily directed against those it considered a threat or as a public display for the benefit those it thought that it might become a threat. There weren't vigilante gangs wandering the streets.

Democracy (western, Athenian or otherwise) is, I think, over-rated what matters is the rule of law and protection of minorities. Churchill once said something to the effect of, 'Democracy is the worst form of Government, apart from all the others'.

I don't get why you were high fiving yourself earlier Marsh.It baffles me that you lot can salvage an inkling of pride in the situation after so many innocent children,men and women were murdered as a result of actions by certain countries.Fuck democracy,these people were far better off before the self-appointed alpha & omegas of this world stepped in.
