re: Experience
Because we've had colonies and I'm not aware of former colonies becoming democracies through our initiatives.
They must want it themselves.
One stricking thing was realizing how much they wanted us out even though it meant poverty to them.
It's all about dignity and getting rid of humiliation.
And Algeria!!!!!
Free elections were going to be organized (1992?) and the Islamists were going to win but the army interfered and it was over. Thousands of Algerians have died, since, in silence.
That's most likely what you're going to get: either democracy and an islamist state or a pro US dictatorship....and with a population revolting agaisnt it with countless human rights abuses.
Returning back to square zero, thus.
