The problem is Islam, the radical Moslems are the peaceful ones because they aren’t following the Koran.
I love the expression you can’t have democracy between day and night. The US spent 50 years teaching and building the human and intellectual infrastructure for a democratic Philippines. The Brits spent more time in their colonial possessions even though they didn’t deliberately try to build democracies most of their non African colonies are at least semi-democratic. The nations we didn’t stay in and work to build a democratic infrastructure all sank into tyranny, this fact is one the libs and neo cons ignore, some of the deliberately and some because of their arrogance.
