"The problem with democracy-building is that I think we think democracy is easy - get rid of the bad guys, call for elections, encourage "power-sharing," and see to it somebody writes a bill of rights.  The truth is exactly the opposite - government by the few, or government by one person is what's easy to build; even putting together good autocratic rule doesn't seem to be that hard.  It's good, stable and free democracies that are really the hardest thing."

-  John Agresto, member of the Iraq reconstruction team, as quoted in Imperial Life in the Emerald City:  Inside Iraq's Green Zone
