Sad day in London

[Andromeda18_]

I've had a question on my mind for a very long time now. We who live in democracies are always saying democracy is great, democracy this and democracy that but have we ever stopped and asked ourselves if everyone wants to live in a democracy? If it fits every culture? I mean, I'm glad I live in a democracy but are we so narrow-minded as to think there's no good alternative to democracy or even that everyone, without exception, wants to live in a democracy? My country was under the rule of a tirant for over 50 years, things were bad, not as bad as in Iraq but bad nonetheless. Yet, the people took matters into their own hands, the military which are before anything else part of the people rose against the dictator and successfuly defeated him. People here would've hated if we were invaded by another country even if that country was trying to help us, it would be worst than the dictatorship itself because nobody likes it when a neighbour sticks it's nose in our private affairs. And the most amazing thing is that although it was a bad dictatorship more and more people say there were a lot of things back then that were much better than they are now and wish they were back in that time. I personally think they're foolish but I can't help thinking democracy definitely isn't for everyone. I know this probably shocks a lot of people but it's true. When the war in Iraq was about to start I heard a man, who had lived there for many years, say those people, that culture, needed to be ruled by a strong leader, a strong hand. For as bad as Sadam was, and he was bad, there's no denying it, the truth is he kept things in check which is something the US clearly aren't able to do, everything and everyone's running loose. And when it comes to the death count I truly wonder who at this point has victimized more innocents and who has dealt more damage to that country.
All polititians are dirty, some more than others but being dirty is almost a job requirement. I belive the greatest problem with the US, far more than dirty polititians, is this idea that it's your godly mission to extend democracy all over the world. It's not! People might not want it no matter how amazing people from democratic countries say it is and nobody has the right to tell other people how they should live. History has shown us time and time again that the people itself can and will fight back when they can no longer withstand the opression. Democracy or any just, free system is something one conquers not something one is forcefully fed.
