Ya know, democracy only really works in civilized, modern soceities. Trying to bring it to bass ackwards 3rd world countries doesn't work. The worst part is that dictatorial regimes use democracy as a means to rise to power then trash the system.
Look at the NAZI's, they used democratic elections to rise to power, then once they got power, they sacked germany's entire democratic system.
Now, its happening in Kuwait. Kuwait is a very rich, democratic country. Here's what's happening, a bunch of hard-core fundy muslums started having 10 babies or more per family, and raised them all as narrow minded, allah thumping fundamentalists. Kuwaits non fundamentalist muslums, are very liberal as far as muslums go, the women shop at the Gap and wear blue jeans and tank tops. They are losing their voting power, and soon, probably in the next election or two, the fundamentalist movement will win the elections and as soon as they get into office, they'll start persecuting all those Gap shopping girls and their families, and it is gonna be a bloodbath.
Democracy is great, but it can be a horrible tool when used for evil reasons. These fundamentalist muslums (NOT muslums in general) are a cancer, and they need to be cut out.
They take countries like Iran who was a fairly modern, moderate country when the Shah was in power, and they turn them into brutal, medeival regimes.
