Yet if they were attacked by ANYONE! the US would have to come in and save their country and way of life. I am not sure I would be happy knowing that my freedom was dependent on another countries willingness to bail me out if things got bad.
The cold hard facts are that there is and will be in the future countries that hate democracy and those countries that you mentioned are only a minor speed bumb in their ambitions.
Look at WW2..what role did the mentioned nations play in pushing back the Nazi tide?
Dude... You gotta stop reiterating political keynotes like a monkey and start using your own brain. That Fox News moderator isn't the bible, and neither are the marketing driven bombastic speeches by your favorite canditate.
Do you know what a keynote is? It's a phrase that has been formulated by a marketing consultant, aimed at dropping a mix of opinion forming, usually emotionally loaded keywords that can have various goals, depending on the target.
Business people and politicians alike employ teams of skilled marketing professionals, along with the occasional psychologist, to write these keynotes for them. No CEO of any given global player takes a stand without having memorized a set of keynotes. No politician on the planet will step on a stage without having at least one keynote about any given topic.
Summary:
Keynotes are carefully formulated to get the point across in an emotional, colorful way that hits the target, sticks, and creates a certain mindset. And is likely to be repeated.
Call it marketing, if you like.
When you say things like "there are future countries that hate democracy", you repeat what was thrown at you in hopes that your uneducated mind would not ask the obvious question, but instead repeat this keynote in as many idiotic forum threads as possible.
Same applies for "domestic terrorist", for example. That sounds threatening, doesn't it? Guess why that keynote is being dropped so often by McCain and Palin when they hold a speech for the people of Mobile, Alabama and popeye.
Guess who repeats these phrases out of the box without asking the obvious question - actually, two questions:
1) WHY is this so?
2) WHY is this a keynote?
Why do countries exist who "hate democracy"? Well in most cases, they don't hate democracy per se, but rather compartmentalization of markets, enforced by organizations created by wealthy democracies such as the US and the EU. The reasons are not a general hate of democracy, but of a market that has closed its doors to the rest of the world in order to protect itself. Which is required if you understand economics; but naturally, this provokes anger among those who are not included.
Secondly, why is this a keynote?
Scare tactics. Bush wasn't the first to use it, McCain won't be the last Republican to utilize the power of creating a midset which is less likely to revolt against cutbacks in personal freedom.
You are not free. You are afraid of your own government. You are owned by your government. That is the reason for implementing scare tactics. Google it and educate yourself on these matters, read a book for a change (I'm not the first person to tell you this either, you know).
These are the questions you should ask if you want to prove credibility and intellect.
If you, on the other hand, continue to ramble about WWII and pitch cheesy and uninformed "we are the gloriousest country in the worlds"-type of facism, you only show people that you actually take a political speech for the bare truth and do not know crap about marketing. Yet you call yourself an internet marketer.
And your scare tactics that you adopted from the current government and a certain current canditate ("Yet if they were attacked by ANYONE!") - sorry, but they won't work outside of your solitude cloud in the depths of Unedcuationa.
