Bush had a romantic idea that he could install a democratic society in Iraq, a tribal society. Removing Hussein released centuries old tribal hatreds between Sunnis, Shiites and Kurds, and thousands of people have been killed.
Gandhi had a romantic idea that he could install a democratic society in India. After he forced the British out, centuries old tribal hatreds between Muslims and Hindus erupted. According to Geographia Asia website, "violence erupted when stranded Muslims and Hindu minorities in the areas fled in opposite directions. Within a few weeks, half a million people had died in the course of the greatest migration of human beings in the world's history."
Which person has caused the greater violence? And why will liberals never learn their false ideals cause more bloodshed than good?
