Now here is a machiavellian idea for the bleeding hearts chew on. Maybe that type of barbarism is nescessary for keeping primitive countries in check. Is it possible that we as a more advanced society should let other nations not as far along alone so that they can develop to self government over time like european (american) government did?
Sounds nice if you're in one of the advanced societies, keep the "barbarian hordes" at bay behind the gates of the roman empire.

But what if it's the advanced societies that cause the other nations not to be able to develop true self governments?

Do you think if the Iraqi, Afghān, or Pakistani people were really allow to develop a truly democratic governments based on their wants, that those governments would be pro-west? Puppet barbarian leaders are in power of these countries because it is good for business.
