Post WW2 every dictatorship we've touched has ended up causing greater harm 
to the country, the people and our world. Politics is so much manipulation 
to begin with that when one country tries to influence another, especially 
in different social 'climates', different 'thinking' (east vs. west), 
different governance schemes (democracy is not necessarily right for 
everyone - it doesn't trickle down/in, it has to become part of the heart of 
those who want it) we do an irreparable damage to the social order, IMO.
