I have American friends and I'm happy they're all fellows that believe and stand for the same values that we have here, but sometimes one wonders whether we've pushed things too far with this idea of "exporting democracy by means of suppressive fire". The expression "Economy of war" springs to mind more and more often unfortunately  |
For me, the problem with exporting democracy is we shouldn't. We should allow other countries make up their own minds, and give them whatever help they ask for. In Iraq, I think we did a great job of winning the war, and completely f'ed up the peace. We need a government organization that handles everything other than war. A Sys Admin group.
