Democracy by force. Does it exist?

Just started thinking.. How many countries do you know that have implemented democracy successfully to their country because someone told them or forced them to do so..

I can't think of that many. Hongkong(?) and some other countries that Europe used to rule back in the days. So would it be wiser to let these countries that haven't yet 'joined' us to do it by themselves. Slightly helping them in a form of some nice little prices but nothing more.

What happened to our patience. We're thinking everything in quarters (or what ever the stock term is) and if there is no progress something has to be done.

I don't know, I was just thinking.
