> A puppet government? Hardly. We simply replaced Sunni for Shiite and slightly shifted things in a millennial old civil war. When I read these type of comments I get truly scared on how the lives of non-western people don't really mean anything to lots of people. There wasn't as slight shift in a conflict but an all out invasion causing hundreds of thousands of deaths in a few years. Millions if you consider the last 20 years. > But the US also acts through a democracy, while the countries mentioned above do not. Crimes committed by a democracy, a theocracy or a dictatorship are crimes all the same. That is how the rest of the world sees it and it's time for the west to start seeing it too. |

I guess the innocent men, women and children feel better having died at the hands of a democracy.
But, your comment did bring a smile to my face, especially as what is happening right now [0]
Democracy? Iraq War pt II. Led by Bush, declared illegal by many, unwanted by more. Led by Bush, democracy. How did he get installed again? Ahh yes, the Florida "recount". Where the governor was his brother and the partisan SCOTUS decided along partisan lines rather than recount.
------ [0] POTUS stating the current recount in Florida should be stopped, even though is mandated by state law. Democracy?
