+1 DEE. If the American politicos use the never ending story of introducing democracy, then why does it upset them to have "the majority" want to kick their pick out of power? Seems they don't see the paralell between democracy and mob rule.
Foreign aid helps empower these "rulers" to go against the wishes of their people, is it any wonder when the "we ain't gonna take it " moment arrives. Why does the US feel the need to have a "you owe me list" of rulers in some of these crapistan nations? Stop ALL foreign aid, save the money to help after natural disasters. And then, only with infrastructure managment, like power,water, crops, food staples, medical,etc. We should not be in the business of subsidizing other nations.
