Exactly how well did it work forcing democracy on the Palestinians, Hamas, and look at Iraq now. Wow, that worked out well too. So freakin' arrogant assuming democracy works for all. Lastly remember when Yugoslavia fell well all that fighting broke out under democracy.
And before some cute rebuttal comes I am not advocating totalitarian dictatorship.
Here's a new idea. Why not fix our own backyard before messing with someone else's. I know that will be difficult we specialize in nation buidling since WWII, but let's give it a try.
Quote from fkbsuhites:
This war has nothing to do with "democracy" or the Taliban and more to do with Oil, drugs and the madness of the neo-con who wants permanent bases all over the world so they can forcibly rape each country of its resources.
Heroin exports to Russia ( via middle asia) from NATO occupied areas in Afghanistan has increased 1000% since the Taliban were kicked out.
The Russians are just beginning to wake up to the new reality. We're fighting a covert war with Russia by destroying their young generation with Afghan opium.
