In relation to our topic, democracy plays a great part in the motives on why the United States is currently spending more money in Iraq than they spent in Germany.  Essentially, America is currently using a great deal of America’s funds in Iraq because according to President Bush, the state would set a democratic example. With democracy in Iraq as an example, a reverse domino effect would occur and other states would follow Iraq’s democratic example. The theory is that when other non-democratic countries in the area see progress and development in Iraq, they will attribute it to the new democracy and also convert wishing to obtain the same success. With democracy established in the Middle Eastern region, a liberal influence would be present and conflict between the Middle Eastern states would seize to exist. With democratic regimes the counties would be easier to negotiate and cooperate with, benefiting the United States in foreign relations. Therefore although the spending in Iraq has become very high, it is important to establish a strong democracy there because it is the model country, and according the the reverse domino theory it will set the trend for the others.
