so, essentially, when a society is still strong and organized enough to act up in the name of justice and freedom on their own behalf, they are responding to 'economics' or some other equally expansive brand of political discontent and need to realize that democracy takes time under the gentle but firm aegis of american stewardship
but when they are weak and disorganized (ie, expedient), they are ready for america to bring them democracy by force
got it. got it. got it. must remember, must remember.
