I don't know how you can look at yourself in a mirror, MDixon. Here's what you said: "Unfortunately, there are many who say they aren't evolved enough to handle democracy and need a Saddam or that we have no business helping these people get rid of their dictators that steel their wealth that pours into their nations by the hundreds of billions of dollars. The same also say it's too costly or lets just do what we can to get along so we can do business and keep the oil flowing as cheaply as we can. <No, not everybody wants to keep the third world nations impoverished and under the thumbs of dictators, just some." Do you really not find your incredibly feeble copout above embarrassing? You were *obviously* referring to politicians. But now that you're trying to wiggle out of that and pretend you were talking about people on this forum, it turns out there's only *one* person, and you aren't even sure they used that term. Moreover, "not ready for" is very different from "not evolved enough." One may be entirely circumstantial--he wasn't ready for the big leagues (because he hadn't trained long enough)--but that doesn't mean *inherently* incapable. "Not ready for democracy" is a statement about the situation; "not evolved enough for democracy" is an insult to a nation's people. They aren't interchangeable. You tried to put that insult, which you yourself made up, in the mouths of liberals. Shame on you.
