" Even as democracy was western Europe's battle cry in its confrontation with soviet communism, mistrust of democracy was part of the Cold War European consensus. Democracies were regarded as weak and unstable. They were ineffective at combating destructive enemies. They were too idealistic and too slow to act when it came to making tough decisions, about use the violence. Democratic decision making was short-sighted, divisive and prone to demagoguery and manipulation."
