Awesome quote about Wilsonian Foreign Policy

To this, I simply say — Well put!

“Promoting democracy” is nothing more than cover, with the goal being U.S. control. Even when a democratic election takes place in a land that the U.S. has conquered, the elected leader must toe the line. If he doesn’t, he is removed. The most recent example being in Egypt, but there have been many others over the years like Algeria, Gaza, and Iran (where the CIA overthrew the elected Mohammad Mossadegh and installed the Shah in 1953).

The democracy cover is also used at home in the US as well. As long as there is no resistance from the American public to the empire building overseas, neocons are on board. But what happens when resistance appears?

This quote above sums up my issues with Wilsonian foreign policy. Not to mention that America is not a Democracy, but rather is a Constitutional Republic. The sad part is that anytime anyone speaks out against Wilsonian foreign policy, those people find themselves labelled by its promoters as Anti-Semites by the likes of those who write at Commentary Magazine.
