I read your reply incorrectly. I often find it annoying when I reads headers/headlines that diverge from the most important point of the article.. I think the historical events you mentioned are relevant as but a couple deeply reprehensable examples, but are we to ignore our history of supporting Sadaam Hussein before, during and after their war with Iran? Speaking of Iran.. are we to ignore how we destablized Iran's democratically elected leader to install the Shaw in 1953? Are we to ignore that we supported Mubarek for how many decades?
No doubt I'm forgetting to mention other countries in the region. The Iraq invasion was not about installing a democracy.. that was an after thought, white wash of what our actual agenda and intentions regarding the establishing and maintaining political and economic hegemony.
We don't give a rats ass about democracies.. unless of course they're lead by people "we can work with".. I do believe history has established this. We don't want a democracy established in Yemen. Lybia is going to be interesting.
