Shadoe, if you want to talk about picking up poli-sci books and looking at history, how about looking at the fact that in the last century not one instance where the United States went into a country and initiated regime change was the end result successful.
Was it good that Iraq was ruled by a dangerous dictator? Clearly not. But unless the people themselves are strong and cohesive enough to initiated change on their own, history has shown that outside help does nothing but replace one bad situation with another, and cost lives of the liberators.
