Didn't the US overthrow many democratically-elected governments (usually because they were leaning towards communism/the Soviets) and install undemocratic dictators in their place?
- wolverine876 5y agoI pointed out times the US has done 'right' and when they have done 'wrong'. Promoting democracy and freedom in some times and places is not incompatible with overthrowing it in others. Right isn't incompatible with wrong; you can't find a single individual who doesn't contain both, much less an entire government. We can't wait for purity to start doing right, or we might as well withdraw to a monestary and pray.
