so if we can't magically convert the whole world to democracies with our magic wand in one stroke then it is best to do nothing...?

i understand u that u say that it costs u alot of money; i can relate to that and respect that. but there is also the issue of doing something about a problem while u still can. what did the US do to provoke 9/11? there was no hostile foreign policy or anything.

in the end, the future will prove who was right. but those that are interested in some history might remember...

"When British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain returned from his Munich meetings with Adolf Hitler in September 1938, he proclaimed that he held in his hands a document guaranteeing "peace in our time." In the decades since, Chamberlain's folly has become the occasion for a commonplace historical lesson: that when the "good" innocently accept the assurances of the "evil," the result is catastrophic."
