Historically we have preemptively invaded Middle Eastern secular dictatorships, killed 10's of thousands of civilians, and achieved a secular democracy?

Historically we have done many things. To claim that all of our actions are justified and are the only available options (even while they fail) because of history is useless. If we put a child in charge of everything, should we do whatever he says because of "history"?

Historically, when the government consistently fails, the people elect a new government.
