You are making my point exactly!

Assumption: Democracy is good. Counter: Look at what democratic countries did to Afghanistan in the name of democracy, when it really was just about some a-holes enriching themselves.

Conclusion: Spreading democracy by force make a mockery out of it. We should spread it by proofing that it is better, by having a better quality of life, a fairer system, more freedom, less injustice and so on.

No wonder people in those countries don't trust democracy, they have only seen the perversion of it!
