    You know what’s not better than a flawed democracy? A dictatorship.

          Well I wish I could, but frankly there is heavy Western centrist to exalt democracy by someone who speaks from the comfort of their air-conditioned homes and with rule of law. Dictatorship and authoritarianism are not bad in and of itself bad. https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20150531-will-dictators-disappear

          And naively saying Iraq has become better despite hundreds of thousands dead and led to the sprung up of ISIS is… I don’t know, imperialist? White man’s burden? Easy to say that Iraq has been doing well when one doesn’t have to flee from conflict

          Democracy must be an organic thing not enforced. As the article said, humans are not predisposed to crave democracy if security is the greater priority.

            Honestly did not think I’d get a “dictatorship good” today.

              You have a lot more to learn about the real world outside of “international community”.
