OK. Look Shimraa. In your worldview, your logic is spot-on. But that is appearanlty because you see the world through a moral relativist's perspective. We don't force democracy on others. Oppression is forced on others. Communism was forced on others. The Soviet Union started in a coup, not a people choosing communism.
Ok. maybe my statements were a bit.. er.. brash. I still believe we were on the right side of Vietnam and Korea. The problem is we weren't allowed to win at Vietnam. The government held the military back because of all the hippys chanting "give peace a chance." Now look at the countries into which we didn't stop the spread of Communism. Look at china. Look at North Korea. We were on the right side of Vietnam and Korea even though we ran away.
I'm not even going into the rebellious nature of humanity because that is a matter of theology and something that will cause people to go ballistic.
And please SEPARATE YOUR THOUGHTS NEXTIME. Do you know how hard it is to reply to something so hard to read?
lol sorry about the thought part chaltab. its just the way i type sometimes.
whats wrong with china they are an emerging superpower, the only things holding them back is techonlogy and there poplulation. this may surprise you but the only country in the world that could hold its own against the US in a non- nuclear war is china. yes china would lose but the US would take exteme castulties. economically china is stable as well. some of the richest people in the world are chinese and there middle class is growing at a funominal rate.
as for korea. the US should have just stayed out and democrasy can be forced on people. look at history and france (thanks you motti for that link)on top of that in the 60s and 70s the US was enforceing capitalism more that it was democracy.
and in num the US held back because they didnt want the USSR to get involved directly, and in the end the pulled out because they lost too many soldiers, there soldierd were being slaughtered by the north veitnum gorillaz.
