WE DO IT, not because we agree with it!  

Democracy and freedom are the great exports of the West. Not being a democrat is not an option. Democracy is consensus and the highest value.

The  fantastic thing about supreme values is that they resemble magical vessels: as empty as a magic hat, almost anything can be conjured up from them, even torture. And only one thing is clear: democrats only love democrats. So we democrats of the West gather under the banner of democracy to proclaim freedom, the opening of all markets, human rights and who knows what.

And the others, who live in places affected by war and misery, are asked to prove to us first of all that they will make an effort and are willing to tread the right democratic path. That they will not endanger democracy. That they take it seriously.
