Q: What was the last Russian-invaded country to have free elections?

A: Q: What was the last US-invaded country to have free elections?
   A: "West" Germany, as far as I know.  All our "anti-communist" invasions
   since then have somehow not ended up making democratic countries.  If
   anyone knows of a counter-example, please post.

Hmm.  There are a FEW countries which have moved from fascist or
totalitarian rule to democracy -- Spain for one -- but without US help.
Perhaps living in a democracy is not good training for creating one from
scratch; maybe we should let somebody else try for awhile.
