Gee, the United States did it without being forced to by anyone. France helped us out, but only AFTER we'd decided we wanted it for ourselves. And we've lasted more than 200 years, because WE chose to do it.

Actually they DID ask. They asked before the Iran/Iraq war. They asked during the Iran/Iraq war. They asked after the Kurds got gassed. They asked after the Persian Gulf war during the infandata, and afterwards when the tribes were decimated in retribution. They've been asking for 20 years, we finally decided to listen.

Fine by me...some cultures don't WANT democracy.

As already said, for a country that "doesnt want democracy", a huge percentage of the population risked property, life and limb to practice it.
Of course not everyone wants it. If you were ontop of the totem pole why would you want to give that up without a fight?
