Ok, there ARE 'stable' democracies, BUT a democracy is technically NOT STABLE.

Countries like Iceland have not different ethnic Groups like Iraq... You cannot compare it.

Yea there are stable democracies like Israel's which was my point in the first place.

As far as comparing the stability of dictatorships to democracies well forget Iceland. What about Canada? We have a very large French speaking province and we seem to manage. Got any examples of a stable dictatorship?? Do they ever Last longer than the life of the dictator?

You also seem to have a strange definition of the word 'Radical' The US is hardly radically different now from when Clinton was president. Do you know what happens when a new leader takes over in a dictatorship? I suspect that would be radical and involve a lot of killing and instability.
