Many times in the past the uneducated and Fascist loving leftists of the Western World have asked this question; here's your answer. The recently conducted elections in Afghanistan with a huge turnout even under threat of retaliation by despotic Taliban and terrorist elements is a testimony to the success and efforts begun under George Bush in the aftermath of the devastation of 9-11.

Afghans have proven that even in a nation where Democracy had never existed, there is a thirst and desire for representative Government against repressive despotic regimes.
 
And, despite the dangers they faced at polling stations, nearly 60 percent of the 12 million people eligible to vote turned out, a measure of the determination for a say in their country's first-ever democratic transfer of power, as President Hamid Karzai prepares to stand down after 12 years in power.

"This is how people vote to say death to the Taliban," said one Afghan on Twitter, posting a photograph that showed his friends holding up one finger - stained with ink to show they had voted - in a gesture of defiance.

Meanwhile, our Presidential elections have a turnout was 57.1% in 2008 and 57.5% in 2012.
