- Description
A cheerfully laughing American Uncle Sam sits in his office chair and talks on the phone to someone from a foreign country who is 'applying for democracy'. He says 'Ha ha, No! - that's not how it works! - You can't APPLY for it! ... You're supposed to first let us vilify you to the world! We then invade you under some pretext - WMD's or whatever..... Then we smash your country back to the dark ages, and then IMPOSE democracy on you!' The little Evans man says 'Read the small print'. Context - In particular Libyan rebels right now are being assisted by UN approved airstrikes against Gaddafi strongholds as rebel forces in Middle Eastern countries endeavour to overthrow their autocratic rulers. But one can look also at Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq...
