Imagine what a democratic Iran would be like today, or democratic Chile and Cuba and Vietnam, if they had not been crushed and attacked by this 'status quo coalition' Deveraux is talking about (USA+UK, USA+France in two cases).

And likewise remember that countries that are now democracies joined the coalition before they became democratic.

In 1960 Spain and Portugal were not democracies.

So rather than seeing the effect of peace and democracy, we're seeing a political and military effect.
