Iran was a splendid Middle Eastern state before it lost it's shah and began the republican era.Germany respected Human Rights before it had Keiser Wilhelm resign from power.Afganistan was a prosperous power before it lost its monarch while now its a Stone Age republic. All crumbles when monarchies are transformed into republics.
All republicanism ever did was cause instability and chaos. People need someone superior to follow, someone virtuos and influent immune to worldly distractions.Someone permanent and inviolable to create a sense of security and ensure peace ( Compare the frequancy of wars in the Reneisance with the XX century).What has republicanism (aka: modern democracy) brought us? WMD's, a Holocaust, terrorism, loss of culture, globalization, fundamentalism, civil war and global warming.
The world needs monarchies, not playboy crowned heads. Tabloid magasines only spoil the sacred monarchy.
-The Shah was an authoritarian despot. And the revolution that broke out against him was taken over by the Ayatollah he'd banished. Originally it was a peoples revolt.
-The German politicians under the Kaiser refused to use their constitutionally granted powers to control his actions. Giving him defacto personal rule. Which lead Germany into a war that cost them land, pride, and millions dead. And created the seeds for Nazism.
-The Afghan king was ousted by a group of communist rebels. They formed a peoples republic. Who then tried to force communism on an Islamic people. This led to the current situation.


Still I beleive that a constitutional democratic monarchy is the best form of government yet devised by humans.
