Don't think it's about democracy, democracy is merely the facade. Beneath that pretext it's greed and power, pure and simple. Not forgetting Britain, the US is clearly the most warlike nation on earth.

Looks to me that the commies have put their finger on it:

216.239.53.100

>>>United States' foreign policy has never been driven by a devotion to any kind of morality, but by the necessity to

make the world safe for investment by American corporations;

enrich US armaments corporations who contribute generously to Congress members;

prevent the development of any society which becomes an example of an independent alternative to the capitalist model;

extend its political and economic control over as much of the globe as possible.<<<
