In countries where democracy is being forced upon the people, the situation isn't ripe for democracy since there is no clear majority opinion in favor of it. Any democracy created on a hotbed of opinion will not work.
that's my 2 cents.

You are absolutely right. People value what they had to fight and suffer for, and they fight and suffer for things that they see the value of. True democracy can only be created by the people, not imposed from outside (in which case it is not really democracy, isn't it?).
Hand something to people that they do not really understand the workings of, and the benefits of which only become apparent after some time and investment, and they will simply not run with it.
