Since the population of the country is much larger, that's a bad sign. And you need to be patient, but you also can't just use the passive tense. You need to devote resources and have a plan, neither of which seem to be things that this Administration wants to do. No one -- Dems or otherwise -- thinks that democracy happens overnight. The fear on my part is that it's much harder and takes more work than Bush seems to realize.
