I never heard of a work of USAID that does not involve US trying to enforce his vision of politics in the country. Could you please illuminate me?

- gadders 13y agoYeah, all that crazy freedom and democracy.
- why-el 13y agoCan't work out whether you are being sarcastic or not, but the notion of a free country exporting freedom and democracy is a novel one. A quick survey of history will tell you that a country A being democratic does not necessarily mean it will support countries to follow suit. Think England back in the late 1800s: Very liberal by anyone's standards at that time, but follows horrendous policies overseas.
- gadders 13y agoI agree it may be a modern idea, but I don't think you can really judge current policies on those of countries from 200 years ago.
- zimbatm 13y agoYeah, let's force freedom and democracy down people's throat. It didn't work so well in Irak but I'm sure the next one is going to be a success ! Everyone who doesn't think like us is wrong and needs to be set on the right path anyways.
