In terms of Japan and Germany, they went democratic after tons of money had been injected. Germany was already democratic before WW II. Taro

Your original statement I don't believe violence is the way to birth a democracy. And your latest statement I repeat again......violence is not the best way to birth a democracy. Are years apart. Of course its preferable to have democracy appear through "people power" (as it appears to be attempting in Lebanon) that through violent "regime change" (as it appears to be attempting to do in Iraq). But just because the first is preferable (your second statement), doesn't mean the latter is doomed to failure (your first statement).
