Democracy is a tool and it is not by any means the only way for ruling. May be it is the best tool – at least till now, however, it has a lot of disadvantages which may destroy nations. Going back to the 1950’s, Syria which was a democratic nation faced a lot threats as a consequence of democracy.

Despite the democratic life in Syria, number of military coups had happened. You may ask why such these coups happened. The answer is very simple. Just look for funds and you will know. According to historians, all military coups which had happened in Syria in 1950’s were supported from outside Syria. One of these coups was supported by Saudi funds and another was by Iraq’s funds...

What do we mean by funds here? Bribed officers were the key factors in these coups. Some of those officers were connected and bribed by Saudis and another by Iraqis...

The interest of the nation was the least important for them. Their nations were their dollars.

The Syrian parties themselves which were participating in the democratic life were also connected to regional powers and were also funded by them.

No party was putting the nation interest as a priority. It is just the interest of individuals which were leading parties and the Army.

Funding is a main figure in any democratic nation. Funding means here, funding parties, election, media...

Unfortunately, all these will become dependent if there were no independent source of funding. Funding here is totally connected to the economic situation of the nation.

You can’t expect a real democracy without an independent economy. most of the third world economies are dependent on US, International bank... This will lead to a “bribed democracy” which is worse than living without democracy.
