"A Republic, If You Can Keep It" - John F. McManus

The Neo Cons are absolutely convinced that they have done something just and holy by imposing Democracy in Iraq. First of all, free government cannot be imposed; but just as importantly, the best form of free government is not a democracy (which is the worst, most revolutionary form of government), but a republic (which has more emphasis on the rule of law, limited government, and mixed representative forms)

This classic on the subject by John F. McManus, reposted at the New American, is a must read.
