Your right the US isnt defending anything. we are trying to impose democratic ways of governing in Iraq and encouraging other countries to do the same. |
Whats so good about democracy though? Look at Iraq and especially Palestine. There are religious leaders in control of these countries in the 21st C, sometimes fanatics. Surely thast is bad news, even if - or especially if - they were democratically elected? I'd prefer a programme of enlightenment where people are taught respect for the attitudes and findings of science and secular rule. Go in, dismantle, reeducate and use the media to teach the truth. Perhaps then we'd see an end to theocratic based governance, an end to belief in creation not evolution, and a belief that the eath is only 2500 (see Americas young earth creationists) years old rather than so many billion. As noted the US has it's brainwashed believers too, and that includes GWB, so in my eyes it can hardly be a perfect model for the rest of the world. What's so good about the majority anyway as they might be and as the above examples show can be in the wrong. Bush, Noori Maliki and Ismail Haniya can't all be right. God told me to do this. God told me to do that. Will we ever see an end?
