When the world is all democracies, it will be a far better world. Let the unenlightened of the world beware the wrath of democracy aroused.
3)You seem unaware that we still have our military presence in Afghanistan. The local liberaloid weekly meticulously notes the US casualties in both Irag and Afghanistan, and we're still taking casualties in Afghanistan, rest assured.

1)So the only way to spread democracy is to kill people, right? You do understand that you sound like the Socialist/Communist revolutionaries of the 1960's and 70's who believed they could jumpstart a S/C revolution with some explosives. Yeah, that worked really well. For a more concrete example...how well is democracy spreading in Iraq? Oh yeah...that civil war bit...right, right.
2)What the hell are you talking about? Kindly define your antecedent. What does 'you' refer to?
3)Yeah, I know there are still casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan. But we were talking about spreading democracy with cluster bombs. How well is that working, again? How much of Afghanistan does the Taliban control these days?
