100% agree with that. It was the notion that a "one size fits all" democracy would suit the entire planet that has led to a lot of the current crises in the Middle East and North Africa.

The whole idea of "regime change" is simplistic and incomplete: Get rid of a tyrant - great! What happens next? Ah, we hadn't thought about that little details like that ...
98.4% of statistics are made up on the spot.

Straw Poll

Were you affected by the geomagnetic storms this past weekend?
Communication disruptions, electrified pipes, random unexplained blue-screens in Windows - the list of effects is terrifying.
