Horse crap. You've got WW2 definitely in your camp. You've got Korea, Panama, and Grenada as iffy. You've got the Spanish-American war, Vietnam, Gulf War I and II (show me the functioning democracy as a result of either of those conflicts) and Afghanistan (it's falling apart b/c we left too soon) as firmly against.
And I chose those five years because all the good will that we had in the world (in both political capital from being, you know, diplomatic for the past half-century, and from after 9/11 (when there were pro-US demonstrations in Tehran, for crap's sake) has been completely wasted by the policy of E&E.
Tell me again how killing and humiliation is supposed to spread (American) democracy?
