"recent history", is that some sort of oxymoron like "compassionate conservatism"? Excactly what did I make up? The New Deal? I didn't mention Stalin's earlier association with Hitler, but I didn't lie about his dealings with the US, either. Or our dealings with Chiang Kai-shek.
As for democracy, is the US prepared to support a democratic islamic state in Iraq if that is what the people elect? Is the president ready to deal with the mix of church and state when it's not his church?
Communism collapsed in 1989. Capitalism collapsed in 1929. The British policy of colonialism folded all throughout the 20th century. What is left and what is working?
