Okay. It is good that you aren't in charge. Nor am I for that matter. So who cares? Your comment was off base. This has nothing to do with Wilson and doesn't resemble his plan. We'll "build nations" or someone else will. I prefer it be us.

You make a very common mistake by breaking history into small, discrete intervals of time when in fact there is a much bigger underlying trend here.

What you are witnessing here is nothing more than the latest phase of an undertaking that began in the 1940s when the U.S. embarked on an effort to relieve Europe's colonial powers of their possessions and establish modern, secular forms of government in these places. It didn't work in Vietnam, and I have no confidence that it is going to work in the Middle East, either.
