"Maybe it's the US attitude of instant gratification... if we can't make it work in 30 days send in the troops, and fuck the consequences."

That's the biggest problem. As a culture, we are ruled by the quarterly report and simple solutions. We can make the world a much better place, and it is in our interest to do so, but we have to have a longer time horizon and accept that the world is a complex place. Solutions that don't work aren't solutions. To keep trying them over and over again, while showing great determination, is more than a little brain dead. And different cultures are, well, different. Not that they can't benefit from democracy and free enterprise. But the path from point A to point B is going to be different for every culture and requires, you know, actual knowledge and understanding of those cultures. There isn't a one size fits all approach.
