Why does American government think it has right to attack another countries to make them Democratic?

Question

I mean if it is no way but sanctions and war?

Answer 1

because the president is a dumb dumb.

Answer 2

That's not the reason the USA has gone to war. It's the outcome of a US victory, however.

The US leading the coalition of nations into Afghanistan and Iraq were not to establish democracies, in the same way the US Civil War was not fought to free slaves, and the same way WW2 was not about ending the Holocaust.

Those were just additional results of victory over the enemy.

There were very justified reasons for going into both Afghanistan and Iraq.

As for the 'right' to do so, where did this wierd concept of international law come from? Sovereign nations are not answerable to anybody else, unless another sovereign nation, or a coalition of nations, chooses to act against them.

There is no international police or court or constitution or anything. So a nation's 'right' to do something is meaningless twaddle.

Answer 3

What makes foreign dictators think they have the right to enslave its own citizens? Ever think about that, buddy?

Saddam Hussein used Iraq like it was his own little piggy bank. He and his two evil, despicable sons plundered the wealth of the country while untold numbers of people were so poor they couldn't afford the basics of life. Hussein attacked Iran and Kuwait, resulting in over 1 million deaths.

How about Afghanistan? You know, in America women are doctors, lawyers, scientists, and sometimes.... Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders. The ignorant, backward Taliban enslaved women. The fact that a woman has the misfortune to be born in Afghanistan should not mean a lifetime of misery while her 4th grade educated, ignorant, unwashed and bearded husband beats her in between his five daily prayers. Afghanistan was encouraging terrorism. The civilized world cannot live with that kind of uncertainty and chaos. Now Afghanistan is free, and can be proud it is a legitimate democracy. They can vote in the United Nations and participate in the Olympics, and do everything else in between like normal countries.

Each of these countries in which we have intervened is immesurably better off for our help.

Answer 4

It loves its own system, which is a republic and not a democracy. It wants to establish the republican system of cheap-labor sweatshops, well-rewarded cronies it puts in power, friends who will spend their loot at Halliburton's, and phony Arab patriots who will agree with OPEC's limits on oil production so that the non-OPEC oil companies can gouge us on prices and blame the Arabs. A republic is the best government money can buy. Those who own the American government have paid a lot to make Iraq a sweatshop colony; don't you think they should get their money's worth? This is Operation What So Proudly We Halliburton.

Answer 5

Well actually they don't.

What I mean is: if Bush had presented that as the reason for attacking Iraq at the beginning, the American ppl would have said 'no, that's not a good enough reason to send our children to die, and we have no business sticking our nose in their business'..

That reason has only recently been used to justify the war because all his other reasons have been proven as false.

Answer 6

The people of America voted for a president who likes to attack other countries.

Answer 7

Repeating "regime change", "better for the free world", etc.. is a justification for "spreading democracy and freedom". When will they learn that democracy can't be imposed by a foreign power? Either the will of the people prevails or it collapses back into another authoritarian state..

Answer 8

I don't think of it as a right....but it is at times a necessity. A peaceful Middle East is a benefit to the entire world..and history has shown us that democracy is the most stable form of government. It is just common sense.

Answer 9

For some reason there are people who think that America is the only country on Earth who's ideology makes any sense. So we just want to get into everyone's business, whether it concerns us or not. Doesn't make sense to me.

Answer 10

Were're not attacking other countries, first of all. Countries like that need help and the U.S is only there for that reason. You need to change your views .

Answer 11

Good point, we should have left Taliban-era Afghanistan the way it was.

Hey look, there's a woman reading a book!
