We have to implant democracies where there are now dictatorships.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Democracies take time.
Half a world away nations that once lived under oppression and tyranny are now budding democracies due in large part to America 's leadership and the sacrifices of our military.
Democracies have to be careful that they do not become so process-driven.
It has been claimed at times that our modern age of technology facilitates dictatorship.
The transition from dictatorship to democracy is always very difficult, and if you read a history of any country that went through this, it wasn't easy. And, you know, you don't end dictatorship one day and next day you have fully fledged democracy.
We know that dismantling old oppressive regimes is a great deal faster and easier than building new flourishing democracies. Chinggis Khaan once said, 'It was easier to conquer the world on horseback than to dismount and govern.' True validation of democracy lies less in what we tear down, and more in what we build.
In our modern age - in the age of free information - I don't think there is any place for dictatorships.
A dictatorship would be a heck of a lot easier, there's no question about it.
So long as we have enough people in this country willing to fight for their rights, we'll be called a democracy.
When you have an efficient government, you have a dictatorship.
