That region does not have a history of democracy. How the hell are they supposed to figure it out themselves? They need established governments to help them set up infastructure SOUP make processes for doing things.

Absolutely NOT! If they ever were to arrive at a democratic state, that should be done that by their own volition, or by DIPLOMATIC pressure by the United Nations and the US over a very long period of time. We (or you, in this case) have no right to step in and 'make everything right'. This is what most americans fail to understand: You are in no position to play sheriff. Not only your motives are questioned, but also your methods completely inhumane in themselves. It is absurd, crazy to think that by bombing the hell out of a country you can establish freedom, equality and a chance for a better future. What you ARE establishing, are good ol' military bases. Get a grip. Global politics are a tug of war over geopolitical power. That power is, and has been for over 100 years
an end in itself. There's no such thing as intervention over ethical reasons, and there's no such thing as an act of good will. Take the fucking blinkers off.
