Instead what we need, and its already happening slowly but steadily, is grass root social development where the citizens are made aware of their moral obligations, rights, social obligations. Unfortunately, this will happen only after the slate is cleaned off from the current generation of politicians and policy makers.

You will have a hard time finding any nation as young as Bangladesh, and is not directly influenced by western government, that is politically stable. If they are any, its the exception not the norm.

Trying to force quick fix, a la Arab Spring, will only lead to chaos.
