First, we should be skeptical of those who believe we can single-highhandedly liberate other
people from tyranny. I agree with George W. Bush when in his
second inaugural address he proclaimed a universal desire to be
free. But the re a re few examples in history in which the freedom
men and women crave is delivered through outside intervention.
In almost every successful social movement of the last century,
from Gandhi's campaign against British rule to the Solidarity
movement in Poland to the anti apartheid movement in South
Africa, democracy was the result of a local awakening.
