  The example of Iraq raises some basic questions that we need to think about 1. Is this the right way to promote democracy? Should a democratic country wage a war and invade other countries for establishing democracy there? 2. Does external help work in every case? Or does it work only when the people of a nation are actively engaged in a struggle to make their societies democratic? 3. Even if external intervention leads to the establishment of democracy in a country, would it last long? Would it enjoy the support of its citizens? 4. Finally, is the use of external force to gift democracy to the people in keeping with the spirit of democracy?
