I agree with this. I just wonder if the US is ready for real democracy.
What if an election brings to power a government that is Anti-US or that wants to Nationalize the oil fields?
Just speculation. The opposite can be said as well.
What will the insurgents do if a pro-US government is elected that gives *very* favourable to concessions to US led Big Oil?
