[QUOTE]Originally posted by Wraith: [QB] [QUOTE] Using postcolonial states as examples of democratic institutions being imposed by imperial force of arms is sort of a flawed argument from the beginning, considering the large numbers of problems that plague nearly all of them. Being organized by 18th and 19th century imperial powers simply hasn't turned out to be a sufficient condition for a state to be free and open, by Western standards. [/QUOTE]Well, yes but that's because most were made independant before they were ready (for various reasons). Remember, a much slower transition to democracy was originally planned. Also most of the population of Iraq is much better educated than many of the colonial populations were when granted independance. [/QB][/QUOTE]
