And let me expand a little on what I said.. democrocy doesn't need to be true democrocy (which in fact I don't think any country actually has anyway) in order to stabalize the area... Russia has it's fake democrocy... China only has democrocy in it's villages etc. Along with the perception that what the people want matters, what will also stabalize the area is money and capatalism... Once people get more involved with making money and pulling themselves out of poverty, they'll become content. You get people out of poverty, but not so rich that they have the free time to think about their crappy government etc. and you've got them controlled.
