"Economic development, free markets, and similar interstate interests all anticipate a lessening of militarized disputes or wars. This "capitalist peace" also accounts for the effects commonly attributed to regime type in standard statistical tests of the democratic peace"

    Democratic Peace is ? and one of the NeoCon theories that led us into Iraq.

    "A Democratic Iraq will stabilize the Middle East and milk n honey will fall from the sky blah blah blah" - everybody in the Bush administration from 2002 to 2007

    Pretty much all you need to know about that.
