Tabs,
As a history buff, you know that history repeats itself.
What we (USA) are currently appearing to do is what the Roman empire tried to do, what the Moslems tried to do, what the Spanish tried to do, and what the Brits tried to do, among others. And look what happened to them. The means may be different, but the objective is the same. Never mind our "noble intentions" to promote democracy. The perception is different.
People who have this outlook (unfortunately, those in power) probably won't outlive the immediate benefits of this narcissistic philosophy, thus don't care. However, that's the same rational by those in history who conspired or allowed to happen and benefited from it. Some call it ... greed among other description terms. Wrong? I guess it depends on your perspective.
