Not everyone is so certain of this that they are willing to hold an atomic bomb to people's heads and say 'become democratic or die'.

I think I know what you are trying to say here. But it is not as if we are fighting a whole country that does not want to be democratic, and forcing 20 million people to 'become democratic or die'. I think the turnout the iraqi's had last month clearly shows that the
majority of the populace want to belong to a democratic society.
Democracy isn't about what everyone wants. Its about what most people want. And yes, I believe most people want democracy
right now.
