But, that doesn't always happen. Take, for example, the US invasion of Panama. The US invaded on a fairly thin pretext, deposed the dictator, and set up a government. To first order, that government is still in power. To first order, the people of Panama are happy with the actions of the US (polls by neural organizations have been done). > We are being fed bullshit. Invading Iraq was a mistake. You cant champion democracy and freedom >and then fuck over peoples countries just cos it makes you feel good. I supported the Afhgan Invasion. Are you suggesting that the people of Iraq were better off before the invasion. What measure would you give of that?
