Yes, but like I intimated previously, we do whatever is necessary at that moment, anticipating the best possible result. But international politics is an ever changing entity taking on a life of its own. Sound judgment one day may result in future disaster. But it is not for us to take pot shots at the persons making those decisions - they are doing so on our behalf and, I truly believe, in the best interest of the free world. In the end, they are just men. As an example, who could have anticipated that Iran would take 50 hostages during the Carter presidency only to see them released on the first day of Ronald Reagan's outstanding run? Hindsight is an easy critic. I have known men strongly in favor of the death penalty cry at death verdicts handed down on juries they served on. Point is, you have absolutely no idea of what you would do when actually faced with a monumental decision until it is before you. Hope it never happens, but if it does, I hope you have the courage and the will to make the "right" decision in the face of those in your charge.

nixon toasted a loyal friend and fascist dictator,who overthrew an elected government :thumbdown: the USA the great bastion of democracy and the land of the free :thumbdown:

it dont make it right backing and funding people they knew were dictators or evil,i think the USA has meddled to much in other countries affairs ian,but then thats just my opinion.

And what about England, the most industrialized and imperialist of all countries in the 19th Century, that which, at one point, controlled roughly 72% of the Earth's surface? :thumbup:

Sometimes we must do what's right for a people when they don't know what it is themselves. This sounds arrogant, but it's true. Who in his right mind would actually want to live under Communism? Who in his right mind would choose a government, one-third of which was anarchist, and had murdered Catholic priests in large numbers, while struggling to come to power? Any election that produced that kind of public behavior would be either fraudulent, or the work of devious propagandists.
:no:

pino i think you will find it wasnt just communists,that muredered priests,the fascists in latin/south america murdered priests and nuns,as for who would want to live under communism,who would want to live under fascism and all its fraudulent and devious propagandists,it works both ways.

That's not the issue. The issue is that Franco's opponents were as bad as him, if not worse.

And that democracy was hideously inept and leading the country straight down the toilet. Sometimes Caesar is right.:headbang:

Yeah, democracy produced Hamas. Good job, Democracy. Good job.

I have to say something on this one.

So are in meddling in our affairs, it would appear so. Your not American, yet you find our policy offensive, offencive enough to take action? You sir have a double standard, which in my book makes you words worth just about as much as. Why is it ok for you and not for us? This one aut to be good!
