If the West wants to impose democracy on the rest of the world, they should know that they lack the credibility necessary for such undertakings. They have very terrible historical precedents to withdraw from. Democracy has not come to Iraq after all the empty promises and lies of President Bush and his "coalition of the willing" stooges. The West has not equally deemed fit to impose democracy on Saudi Arabia or China. The establishment myth, popularized by Amartya Sen for which he got a Nobel prize-an establishment reward for its faithful servants- that development can only happen in a democracy has be exploded by the rampaging advance of China. The Chinese, subsisting under a very heavy communist autocracy have been able to achieve what western conceptual schemes claim as their exclusivity. So a country can equally development its own standards of governance which must not take its moments about western views of democracy, and still arrive at the harbours of development
