Our policy is not destablizing the world.
The world is moving toward democracy, slowly but surely.
An enormous amount of what occurred over the last ten years has absolutely destabilized the world.
I haven't seen any evidence of democracy yet, just a lot of raging angry people, now that the genii has been let out of the bottle.
But do tell which tyrant takes over for the last tyrant?
If the twentieth century was the century of totalitarianism, total war, genocide, and brutality, it was also the century of democracy. As Freedom House notes in its latest annual survey of freedom in the world, there was not a single country in 1900 that would qualify by todays standards as a democracy. By 1950, only 22 of the 80 sovereign political systems in the world (28 percent) were democratic. When the third wave of global democratization began in 1974, there were 39 democracies, but the percentage of democracies in the world was about the same (27 percent). Yet by January 2000, Freedom House counted 120 democracies, the highest number and the greatest percentage (63) in the history of the world.
