You Need to Look at the Whole Picture

I admit, the United States did not have a great record of installing regimes in the Cold War. Back then the US had a Machiavellian foreign policy where defeating communism was the only thing taken into consideration. Before you can say that America has been horrible installing regimes and has never liberated anyone however, you must look at post-WWII Europe, Japan, South Korea, and post-Cold War Eastern Europe before you judge the entire American record. I trust that America will install a democratic government in Iraq because they cannot afford not to. If 9-11 taught us anything about the Middle East, it taught us that that drastic democratic reform was needed in that region. Now that all eyes are on America, they cannot afford to fuck this thing up. I am sorry that I "bull that shit" by implying that America will do the right thing in a post-Saddam Iraq. It is not without reason or rationality though Andrew.
