"The spreading of democracy" is a silly, childish notion that should have gone to the grave with Woodrow Wilson.

Tell that to Eastern Europe, I will bet the people of Poland might disagree with you.

I agree. But democracy in Durkadurkastan shouldn't be the goal (and I hope it isn't). The goal should be to keep the USA safe, to not have to fight any wars on US soil. Pure selfish reasons (that I agree 100% with) can lead to "spreading of democracy". Risks need to be neutralized, and strategic positions need to be maintained - 9/11 proved that you cannot simply wait to be hit.

The sentiment I agree with jb6 on is that there is a price in the blood of your nation's finest that we cannot allow to be undervalued.

OMG I agree with you on a matter of some importance! Wilson was a fool and his policies are still screwing the nation up. TR was a much better "liberal" president.
