Maybe that's inevitable anyway, but we can't be sure unless we give it a try, and thus we should indeed try.
We've "given it a try" too many times to count, from Somalia to Bosnia to Haiti to Kosovo and so on and so on. There simply is no record of a single success; just a ton of wasted taxpayer money, enriched corrupt officials and Western consultants, an impoverished population, and authoritarianism. What is the saying about continuing to do the same thing and expecting different results being the definition of insanity?
Post-WW II Japan, Germany, post-cold-war Russia, not to mention Panama, and a lot of others we had a hand in helping a new government to form, but hadn't fought a war with first.
Would you care to retract your bogus statement?
What is the saying about continuing to do the same thing and expecting different results being the definition of insanity?
And what's the old saying about the dishonesty of mentioning only the things that support your claim, and pretending that counter-examples don't exist?
