While the accepted theory [Lipset] claims that democracy will remain no morethan a dream in Iraq until the Kurds and Shiites develop a culture ofdemocracy and the educational level of the Iraqi people risessufficiently, the alternative maintains that instead these groups needto get enough out of democracy that they have no incentive to undermineit or secede.
Fortunately for the citizens of Iraq, the evidence is much moreconsistent with the alternative theory than the widely accepted one.Over the last century, there has been no tendency for countries that have become richer or more educated to become more democratic.Moreover, there are numerous historical examples of successfuldemocratic societies starting with very low levels of education and no trace of a culture of democracy.
