Essay Question
Is it wrong to try to foist a government on a people who don't want it? (Note, I am NOT suggesting that this is the case in anything currently going on, I'm posting as a hypothetical.) The president has commented on the importance of spreading democracy in the middle east. My question is, is it more important to spread democracy, or to allow the people to be ruled according to how they wish?

Simple answer to your question is yes and the Dictator for life in the hospital in Cuba is an excellent example. If your asking if what the President is doing in Iraq and trying to form a democratic process then the answer is no. The people of any nation have to want it and the people in Iraq want it for the most part but they don't want it with our troops on the ground in their country. And as long as our troops are on the ground in Iraq it is going to appear to most of the people that the government they have is nothing but a US puppet.
Well, papamoka, took the words so eloquently out of mouth, my work here is done!
Ummmm.......If people are allowed to be ruled how they wish, isn't that kind of a democracy?
