you wold think after glorious failures like cuba and bosnia our government would be smart enough to jsut sit back and help as a police force in these troubled areas and help those who will be governed sort it out instead of telling them how they are going to sort it out.
some of the countries that we went into did eventually turn to some form of democracy, but it was something they came to in their own time. it is arrogant of this administration, just like all the ones that tried before, to think that we have the only governmental solution that is valid in the world. especially when we are dealing with areas of the world that have had ongoing clan/tribal/ethnic wars for longer than our country has existed.

actually I did touch upon that subject and I agree with you that the US should stop trying to force our governing system upon other nations.
