Hawk - we believe in democracy and the free enterprise system. Yet you are suggesting that we manipulate the soico-polito-economic behaviour in those countries for our benefit.

We are forgetting the main thing that we in this country love, cherish and believe in. And that is let the free markets find their way. they may stumble from time to time yet they will find their way and emerge stronger.

While we believe in these things for ourselves we are telling the rest of the world that we need to manipulate them. Unfortunately it hasnt worked and will never work. Furthermore the assistance that we provide, at least in terms of cia training, finance and arms eventually comes and harms us. Examples would be Noriega, Osama Bin laden, Shah of Iran, Saddam Hussein. And in the future it could be Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, pakistan and others.

I for one would recommend that we let the represtative governments of the other nations take care of their people and any aid we provide, we must make sure it goes to the people and programs for which it is directed and not to line the pockets of officials who will do what we 'desire' while they rob the funds and use those funds to rob and suppress their people who go on to hate america for its 'help'.
