Re: "I'm not sure what would be the best government for them, because there isn't a single democracy among them and they have no principles on which to form one." That's my key hang-up with invading the country. You just can't wipe away 5,000 years of history and all of a sudden say, "All right, it's time for democracy." Although that's what we did in Japan at the end of WWII. Hard to say. Perhaps the populace would be willing to embrace democracy if given a choice.
