But some people claim that the post-war success of the governments installed by the western powers in Japan and Germany prove that democracy can be imposed by force, and this ought to be done all over. I am just saying the successes in these two countries were very special circumstances and not generalizable to other times and places (e.g. Iraq in 2005).
