Democracy

This thought just occured to be while rereading my last post.

Successful democracy comes from within a nation - not from without.
When a change of government is forced upon a people - even if it will eventually be a good change - there will always be insurgencies. Important change should never be made with armed force.

Democractic ideals must grow inside the people of a country before it can grow nationaly.

And why are they called insurgents and not rebels? Does the term "rebel" hit too close to home?

Rebels or Insurgents? John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, George Washington

I guess it depends on which side of the insurgency you're on.
