However it is true that while you can lead a horse to water but can't make it drink, you can also not make a population embrace democracy if they don't want it. It took about one and a half millenia for democracy (or a version of it) to move from attic Greece to western Europe. We should not be surprised if the middle east and asia generally do not embrace democracy in one and a half decades.
