You are using two completely different examples. If we take what you say about
these 'democrat' ideals as truth lets compare the two examples: Creating peace
with another society and converting the political views of other people.
In the first example (creating peace) it can be seen that peace is advantageous to
(pretty much) all parties involved: it promotes more stable and stronger economies,
it ensures freedoms. Its a bargaining system: We give you X, you give us Y. A system
used throughout time in MANY different forms.
The second example (conversion of politics) can be seen as a conversion of faith: Forcing
people to change their beliefs (either through words of wisdom, or whatever other means).
The second example takes away peoples rights of freedom and removes the balance of
politics (left vs. right, as stupid as it is, can be important in a GENERAL OVERVIEW of things).
So to summarize and already summarized response:
Peace brings advantageous change that has effects which propogate many areas.
Changing political beliefs removes the balance and removes peoples freedom.

charity or inject it into your local economy.
