I am not so sure if US-american/NATO intervention will bring sustainable peace in the region. Which renders your whole argument void. You cannot force people to be democratic. There has to be at least a considerable amount of them who want democracy and fight for it/defend it. But imo there is not much hope - I guess that it will end in an equally authoritarian system as it was before.
The only place were bringing peace and democracy by the means of war worked is europe and japan. I don't know why many people are still thinking that what worked in europe/japan is applicable to whole world.

I don't believe I said anything about bringing democracy to Afghanistan. This was in response to Yoko Takeo's belief that the US government staged 9-11 to give casus belli for an invasion of Afghanistan. I wasn't attempting to justify the war, merely pointing out that there would have been ample cause without 9-11 had the US really been interested in invading.
