How appropriate for a
Mission Accomplished war. We couldn't force democracy on Haiti or upon Somolia. Democracy is only starting to grow in Balkan regions that finally separate from Serbia - and with over a decade of military occupation of people who really want democracy. Somehow we will force democracy upon Iraq - who never asked for democracy - when our leaders have so little intelligence as to even disband the army and police.
If democracy is such a good solution, then why can't we even force down the throats of Haitians - who don't even suffer under daily violence and insurgency.
