[QUOTE]Originally posted by Wraith: [QB] [QUOTE] This is Pinter's core argument; the US has taken a new path in history, and as with their 'looking the other way' of Contras in Nicaragua, their view of the greater good has been twisted from that of the other countries in the "free" world. [/QUOTE]As near as I can see, the US government's concept of the greater good is expanded democracy and rights by any and all means, whereas in many other areas it is simply stability, irrespective of the consequences for the local populations. Personally, I'm half and half. Where democratic institutions can be encouraged or practically established, they should be. However, I do think where conflicts are initiated by the west there should be reliable, comprehensive planning and reasoning. Neither can be based on idiotic ideological assumptions, as they appear to have been in Iraq. [/QB][/QUOTE]
