Almost as soon as "America" came into being, as a shining beacon of freedom, we began supporting Imperialism in neighboring countries. Not Democracy.
Why? Slave revolts. Slave revolts scared our slaveowners. Better to support the Imperial masters than risk insiring our slaves to revolt. So began the oxymoronic journey of our foreign policy.
We've never been in the business of spereading Democracy. We routinely bring about the removal of Democratically elected leaders that stand in the way of our interests.
