Joe,

re: LOL. Shame on us for imposing democracy on countries. Shame on us for toppling 2 of the most despicable regimes on earth - Taliban and Saddam.

The "toppling" part is expensive but easy. The "imposing Democracy" part is very expensive and very hard.

re: Gee, I thought promoting democracy was one of them <values>...

"Promoting Democracy" yes, "imposing Democracy" no.

The small number of neo's that have managed to hijack the federal government want to militarily impose Democracy on the rest of the world. That's not a traditional American value... it reminds me of the communist's imposing communism. And in the long run, imposing doesn't work, self determination is the only thing that creates stability.

Imperialism is not a American value, and it's certainly not a conservative value.
