Once again Harry shows his contempt for history and complete lack of understanding of foreign affairs. This is the process of installing rule of law. It is temporarily and purposefully and distinctly not Democratic. The purpose of this period is to ensure that the power vacuum is not quickly replaced with another tyranny.

This is how freedom was born in Germany and Japan, similarly militaristic/collectivist countries who are now generally free and peaceful and export their productivity to the world instead of keeping it for their war machines.

By the way, why didn't that widespread AK-47 ownership -- which applied throughout Hussein's reign -- prevent tyranny in Iraq? Could it be that the standard gun argument is a little more complex than you thought?
