In this instance we are like the British, not the soon to become Americans that fought Britain. So you see history has taught us that you cannot force your beliefs upon others without revolt. We did not lose the war against Britain, so what makes you think they will lose to us and all of sudden want a democratic nation. Fucking fool.

What's ludicrous is you comparing what happened in the US to what's going on over there... It's also nice to see that you didn't actually say anything in those 2 paragraphs. You make a bold statment like democrocy will never take hold and then you go on to talk about the US.. How about backing up that statement with some applicable facts or at least a coherent argument.
And let me expand a little on what I said.. democrocy doesn't need to be true democrocy (which in fact I don't think any country actually has anyway) in order to stabalize the area... Russia has it's fake democrocy... China only has democrocy in it's villages etc. Along with the perception that what the people want matters, what will also stabalize the area is money and capatalism... Once people get more involved with making money and pulling themselves out of poverty, they'll become content. You get people out of poverty, but not so rich that they have the free time to think about their crappy government etc. and you've got them controlled.
