[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] Bleh. The US invaded and occupied Japan, and deposed their Emperor, overturning their culture overnight, and you can see how much they hate us now, and how angry they are and in what deplorable social and economic conditions they live. The most recent UN reports suggest that the one great improver in the condition of the world in the past two decades has been increased freedoms. In countries whioch have become more democratic, the standard of living has increased dramatically. In countries which have stayes authoritarian or become moreso (Sub-saharan Africa, for a few examples) the standard of living has remained stagnant or even decreased. When the US destroys and replaces the government of Iraq with a more democratic regime, the standard of living in Iraq will rise. This will destabilize the authoritarian countries nearby, resulting in a trend towards further creation of more democratic regimes... with or without help. "Stability" in the region is only good if it benefits the many, not the few. Positive change rarely comes about in a stable environment. [/QB][/QUOTE]
