But democracy by definition is 'government by the people, for the people, of the people'. It's hardly the situation we see in Iraq. Asides from which, its pretty much doomed to failure in the first place. I will be absolutely amazed if it works in Iraq; you can't help wondering that if Bush had read anything about Iraqi history he would have realised that you need a strong central government to keep control. The Bush administration has said itself a mammoth challenge here...
