Why does America insist on forming a democracy form of government in other countries? Haven't we learned our lesson with Vietnam?

Young, first off, there is no need to make personal attacks against me and my status. Second, I believe forming a Democracy in Iraq is a bad idea. Democracy isn't always the best choice in government for all countries. Here is a copy and paste to and old answer of mine. I can't think of a worse place to have a democracy where the majority rule. The Middle east specially Iraq needs a republic like that envisioned by our founders that is decentralized and limited government power. In a republican form of government, there is rule of law. All citizens, including government officials, are accountable to the same laws. Government intervenes in civil society to protect its citizens against force and fraud but does not intervene in the cases of peaceable, voluntary exchange.

Yes! No it is not about democracy, don't you see!? They only invade when there is something to gain. Look at Cuba! We have had communism for YEARS! Right hear on this side of the world and what has ever been down about that? NOTHING! Maybe because there is nothing we can get from that country. So I guess they don't deserve to be helped! Just let their people suffer in poverty? Pathetic!

I am about as conservative as can be these days, but agree with you and for the record, the republican party is gonna have to get a little more towards the middle on some issues(especially when it comes to how you spend and tax).
To many conservs, are for the money makers, and loopholes for the rich. Stop tryin to earn you living on the backs of the middle and lower class of America. Slavery is slavery regardless of if its ethnic or economic.
Sorry to got off on a rant my friend, but you opend a can of worms that main stream politics wants to avoid. Americans don't want Partisan Politics, they just want a fair shake. Affordable clean cars, fuel, and health care. A little less war (regardless of the reasons for being there) and a little less space exploration (my opinion) and a little more help for the common person in the country.
We also need a legitamate 3rd and 4th party to get power away from the dem's and rep's, cause politics has in my opinion become a world of getting money and soundbites.
OK girl... I'll shut up now. sorry and God Bless
al 4 now B
PS: BTW Hows the family? Hope ur all doing well.

1. Sludge Metal, Gothic Metal, Doom Metal, Melodic death metal, Melodic Black Metal 2. 2 Minutes to Midnight - Iron Maiden 3. Sell Out - Reel Big Fish 4. Why's Everybody Always Pickin' On Me - Bloodhound Gang 5. Yeah, musically ignorant dickweeds. You should know this well, you've seen some of my answers/rants. *EDIT* Yes, I realized I wrote Iron Metal. It's now been... 28 hours since I've had any sleep. Leave me alone. I fixed it. **EDIT** Double D'oh! I forgot to answer the actual question. Well, Karl, I don't find it's a metal subgenre, but I still like some of it. Back in the day, it might have been more of a metal sound, but nowadays it's more akin to rock. ***EDIT*** Adam, does that mean if your answer genuinely sucks I can't TD you for it? :P (Just kidding bro) KP, Evanescence are more gothic rock than anything else. They have the sound down pat, and a good portion of their songs have the imagery, as well. While the arguments rage on as to whether or not they're gothic metal or rock, both sides agree that they're a goth band. Also. Does anyone else find Evanescence are almost like a dark Enya?

For a Top Contributor, this is an inane question. Tell me, what type of government should we be insisting on forming? We all know that a representative democracy is one of the best forms of government, even though it may not work in some countries that have no experience in forming a new type of governmnet. We (the US) are certainly not going to insist on forming a government that we will try to build up just so we can re-invade 10-20 years later. Or SHOULD we be involved in building up another Marxist-Leninist country, to bring back the old Cold War? Or maybe start supporting a nation that we know will become a terrorist supporter? We need (in the case in Iraq) to be insisting that this government start to meet these goals/milestones, so that we will not have to remain there for decades on end.

No, our government has forgotten the lessons learned in Southeast Asia. I distinctly remember how it felt when U.S. left there. It was the greatest feeling ever.
Viet Nam was a freaking quagmire and Iraq has evolved into its own special quagmire. It wasn't bogged down at first. But it is now.
We went there with no endgame plan. Now we seem stuck.... just like VN.
I lived thru Viet Nam. It was horrible, and those guys still deserve a lot of respect for going to that sh*thole.
We must get out of there.

We try to spread democracy to other countries because we think that we are doing them a favor. We do not take into consideration what those countries want or are even actually capable of. We ignore evidence that their particular cultures may not withstand or tolerate a democracy. As for Vietnam, we've obviously learn little to nothing from that war. I anxiously await your thumbs downs.

I really don't like any kind of bashing, but honestly, it doesn't bother me in here at all. When you're a liberal, you don't notice how much control your party has over the media. But as a conservative, I can see that day in and day out, liberal views are being shoved down everone's throat at all times. I was so shocked when I first heard a liberal deny this fact and it's happened so many times that I have just accepted that you all just don't notice. But conservatives do. So when there's a little bit of the opposite being posted on a site like this one, it seems only right.

Who else is getting sick and tired of the Bush bashing questions? I am!!!!!!! This section is flooded with (negative) Bush-based questions. People, can we begin asking questions that we all can honestly answer without biased opinions. I'll start with one. If Bush is such an idiot and can't do anything right, what's YOUR solution? You people attack him all the time and never come up with any positive thoughts. Like Sam Houston once said, "It takes a man a month to build a barn, but any jack@$$ can kick it down in a day"

Some of them are funny, mefeelgood, and RLP, and the Jeremy's prove every point that we try and make but are not smart enough realize it, it is a shame that ignorance is so aggressive in this country but that is the media machine and talk radio minions. Idiotic and inflammatory questions are their rule, with insults added to boot.
Resort is had to ridicule only when reason is against us.

I'm tired of the continuous bashing from both sides. I think when you tend to lean more towards one side the bashing looks worse. I've been avoiding 'questions' much of the day.
Okay, good question.
Believe it or not, we actually helped form those types of governments in Germany, Japan and South Korea and it worked. :)
