(62,325 posts)letting other countries take care of their own affairs? Anywhere we went to 'bring' democracy to, is WAY WORSE OFF than they were before we decided we knew what was best for them.
Take a look at South America if you want to see what would happen if we left the world alone. They are INDEPENDENT nations now, sorting out their OWN problems. They didn't want us there, we supported DICTATORS which is what we are still doing.
IF we were not supporting the dictators in Bahrain, in Uzbekistan, in Saudi Arabia, the people might actually manage without us, as they have done in South America.
This country has more problems of its own than apparently it can do anything about.
It is utterly ridiculous and arrogant and shameful AND racist, to think that we are so smart the rest of the world needs us. Please don't say that to too many people.
South America is doing just fine without our Corporate interference, FAR far better than those countries we decided to 'help' like Iraq and Afghanistan.
Just who are all these people who need our warmongering and drones and prisons so much, they couldn't get along without us?
China, Japan, Russia, all existed for centuries without us. Just unbelievable, the nonsense we read on the internet.
