Another blogger rethinks the notion of democracy promotion in foreign policy -AS
Two things.
I'd like a little more Democracy in America please, never mind foreign policy. A few more years of 'What's the matter with Kansas?' might just be enough, meaning that I'm a little tired of being outvoted in the Senate, which includes votes from the like of Inhofe, for instance.
As for the rest, i.e. foreign policy, please, no. I hope that the Dems never 'realistically' convince themselves to get involved with, say, the likes of Pinochet, as much as did those around Reagan and his 'Reagan Devolution'.
Also, there seems to be something inherently contradictory in espousing a relatively idealistic strategy for things like civil rights and disparaging the capacity of whole regions to enjoy the benefits of freedom from Executive puissance.
