Oh yes, because democracy worked so well for Muslim countries in an US and EU sponsored experiments across Muslim world...

Not all countries can handle democracy, its not a magic cure.

What you are saying is factually true yet you are downvoted. You are in good company, galileo must've been downvoted a lot too.

The truth is that you cannot bring democracy overnight to a place and expect it to stick. It seems that the people of said country have to fight for it tooth and nail before it sticks.
