Yeah it worked on Germany and Japan. South Korea is a super important ally. Taiwan also.
We screwed up South America pretty good. Gotta admit that. Also gotta admit our approach to the Middle East was totally FUBAR. I'd be a nationalist if I hung a "Mission Accomplished" banner on South America and the Middle East. Nope. Those are clearly failures.
But to say we had no successes in spreading democracy and stability, in what can be retarded as humanity's golden era, is ridiculous.
We've made mistakes. Yup. Lots of them. We've also had stunning successes. Want more successes and less failures? Participate, vote, protest. Keep accountability. Don't fall for the "we're number 1!" shit. Don't buy "American exceptionalism" as a reason to stay home and do nothing. It takes work. Constant work.
