You do have your history and world politics really screwed up.
This was not the point of my post, but since you brought it up, let me set some facts straight.
Europe is up in arms over the US spreading democracy to the Middle
East. Please, don't give me this 'one world' nonsense.
My definition of Democracy is One Man One Vote. The present situation in Iraq is that the shiite majority wants to hold direct elections, and the US forces are dragging their feet, cause they know that under democratic elections a pro-iranian fundamentalist regime would easily be elected. Instead it is trying to set up a confusing system of council appointments so that the US can have some more docile government to deal with. So, where's the democracy? Does democracy work only when it suits your particular taste? BTW, did you know that until 1990 the US was Saddam's most ardent supporter while Saddam waged war on Iran?
We are in a
struggle between the Free World and the world of darkness,
oppression (of women, freedom of thought, etc.) and terrorism.
Europe in general, is upset that we have removed evil regimes like
the Taliban.
No, we are not upset. Europe started fighting the Talibans long before the US, and presently Europe has more forces in Afghanistan than the US. The US, on the other hand, provided much of the original funding for the Taliban, when the Mujahedin were fighting the soviet presence in the region. Most of what came to be the Taliban got their first military training from american military advisers in Pakistan in the late 80's early 90's. Memory is a curious thing, isn't it? I guess you have a talent for picking up strange bed partners that you don't like when you wake up the next day.
People there (especially women) are free from the
bondage of these evil-doers.
Actually, they're not. The women's living conditions have improved next to none. It is the whole cultural framework of that country that needs to change to improve women's condition. You do that by funding education, not military intervention. But the US hasn't paid UNESCo for that in many many years. In fact, most of the aid money that really makes a difference for Afghan women comes from Europe. Did you know that Emma Bonino, the EU commisioner actually spoke in Kabul for women's rights DURING the taliban, and she was even arrested for that?
Did you know that women in Saudia Arabia are not allowed to have a
drivers license and drive a car?
Yes, I know. And I also know that the US is Saudi Arabia's most traditional ally, and that the women's condition never seemed to bother you when you buy their oil, of which you are their main client.
Believe me, my friend, democracy will not spread unless we remove
the dictators by force. They will not leave under any other
scenario.
All experiences of imposing "democracy" by force ended up in huge catastrophes. And the US alone has a very poor record in that area. Here's a short list:
-Iran's Reza Phalevi
-Indonesia's Suharto
-Chile's Pinochet.
-South Vietnam
-Mobutu's Zaire
-Angola where you tried FNLA, then UNITA, and now even the former marxist MPLA, and they all murdered and maimed their populations in corrupt governments.
-Cuba's Battista.
-Guatemala
I guess I could not go on, because there's a size limit for these posts.
By the way, I didn't get these examples from a communist manual, as you may think. I got them from Foreign Affairs, which is published by your own State Department. You should read it sometimes.
