US and its interventions
I’ll be blunt: Is Democracy for everyone?
If you examine closely, the US is not operating under a democracy by its meaning. In reality, the US is republican democracy. The best example of this is the presidential election. The people vote for the electoral votes. And it is the electoral votes that determine who is the president. In a true democracy, people vote for the president directly. Of course, under democracy, no one would be happy since everyone has a say/vote.
With that being said, how can the US continually push for “democracy” in nations that we think “deserve” to have “democracy?”
Is the installation of “democracy” the solution? And if the US is enforcing democracy, how come we have not attack China and reform their regime? Why is it that the US doesn’t recognize Taiwan, a democratic nation, as an official nation?
The US’s international involvement or intervention is beyond any other nation since the end of colonialism and the conquistadors. If history teaches us anything, the overwhelming “burden” that the US carries on its shoulder will have a more negative consequences. One must wonder why the government doesn’t participate more in its country? There are places in the US that are in terrible living conditions, yet the government is spending tax payer’s money on other nations?? Where is the priority??????
National security is important, yes! But so is the welfare of the citizen!!!
Is the US not getting the message that international denizens don’t really appreciate the US’s involvement in their affairs? Is the 9/11 not blatant enough?
On the other hand, the US should be applauded for the idea of wanting to help those in worse condition, on average. The wealth of the US is “shared” by others around the world and this generosity cannot be said about other countries. The problem lies in the presentation of this generosity. And I think the Capitol Hill should think about how they should revise their plan to make the world a better place to live for all of us.
