Again ass backwards Sun Tzu. I have travelled in several dozen countries and lived in a foreign one for a few years.

We are not forcing our culture on them, we cannot make people watch Baywatch, drink Coke or wear Levi's. They choose these things on their own free will. If you see all these products in use there it is because they are producing them and the people are buying them with money from selling us the products we both want.

Our "push" for democracy is a result of the USA being pulled into the thick of things with a wake up call. If the present Iraqi was not so damn reckless we would never have had a reason to resume the hostilities stopped with the ceasefire signed in 1991.
