Interesting take. Can we assume, then, that this attempt at democracy in Iraq is doomed to failure?
I'm not asking this to be flippant. But, if democracy is imposed on a society, what does it take to make it stick? If Iraq's economy does not support their new-found freedom, will a despot arise to promise salvation? What can Iraq do to ensure that their fledging democracy will survive?
