I have to particiapte in a debate with the motion 'This house believes it is justifiable to impose democracy on a country', and I would LOVE to get some other opinions and insights on the matter, so I turn to trusty Createblog.
The motion DOESN'T specifically refer to Iraq, so please don't let's turn this into a debate just about that whole debacle, although of course it's relevant. Personally, I think the whole notion is something of a contradiction in terms |

The doctrine of "imposing democracy on another country" entails a great risk of failure because it assumes democratic rule can be enforced on any country, under any circumstances, if sufficient force is used; be it a military imposition or via diplomatic or economic pressure.
However, democracy needs a breeding ground in order to subsist and not all countries possess it. Besides a properly oriented cultural tradition, other factors such as a moderate economic stability and having proper mechanisms to grant the security of the citiziens and the state are desired for anybody interested in building a democratic regime from scrap. |
