Because democracy is the Trojan horse of the American imperialism.
I understand Americans don't like to see it that way, they'd rather think of themselves as good people and they are. But their elites are bloodthirsty bastards bent on conquering the world.
Look at the cold hard facts about American military "presence" in the world and tell me it doesn't look like an empire occupying its conquests ...

- alexeisadeski3 13y agoSouth Korea, Japan, France, Germany - all occupied by American Imperialism and slaving away under its exploitative boot heel to this day! Truly there has been no crueler empire in history.
- camus2 13y agoAfghanistan,Iraq,Lybia, clearly successfull democracies !
- jmnicolas 13y agoNo, cruelty is reserved for unwilling countries (Irak, Afghanistan ...). The good, obedient states are rewarded and shown as examples as you do in your comment (I'm French btw). edit : maybe it's not apparent in my comments, but I have nothing against Americans (or any other people for that matter). I criticize the elites, not the "normal" people.
- alexeisadeski3 13y agoAnd what was South Korea "willing" to do?
- ahomescu1 13y ago> But their elites are bloodthirsty bastards bent on conquering the world. That's probably true of most countries in the world.
- jmnicolas 13y agoOff course, but only the US has enough money to do it. Fwiw I despise my country's elites as much as the American ones.
