Abstract
Published in the issue of December 2005 & January 2006, the article "Making Democracy Stick" written by Gerard Alexander is part of a wider movement distancing itself from the American muscled intervention in Iraq and its lack of preparation for democratic consolidation. The initiators of this war, namely the neoconservatives, sought that with the right application of force and will Iraq would fall into democracy. They based their judgment on a simple idea; everybody aspire to be free, democracy offers the wider level of freedom, the Iraqi people would embrace the opportunity to work along the American administration to build the first democratic regime within the Arab world. Unfortunately this prediction proved to be wrong: the country acts as a magnet for radical Islamists and offers all the characteristics of being under Civil War.
