The possibility of chaos always exists

As proven by the experience of the French Revolution, the Weimar Republic, and the short lived Constitutional monarchy in Russia in 1916-7, sometimes a shaky neophyte democratic government can lead to complete disaster and genocide. One has to remember that a true democracy can only survive in an economic and political climate that allows it. As seen with the French in 1789/80 what appeared to be bloodless, resulted in the executions of hundreds of people and the Napoleaonic wars. So it is to be seen what happens to these "democracies". Wait in the wings well prepared for the worst.

We can hope

True 123 we can hope, but definately don't count on GW Bush just crossing his fingers. If he and his buddies do anything, they'll be putting their fingers all over these events.
