Drowning in Democracy

I wonder if everyone is aware that we are literally drowning the Iraqi people in democracy. You cannot force people to change their government, especially as quickly as we are trying to. There are some points I would like to make about the democracy we have here in the United States:
1. We desperately wanted it. it was not forced on us.
2. It took a lot for us to get it going, and running somewhat smoothly-- look at all of our amendments
3. It is still a flawed system. if we still haven't perfected it, how can we expect to impose it on someone else?
