Re: Drone strikes killing more civilians than U.S. admits - human rights groups say
No, not so much that they were established by military interventionism; but rather due to the environment of their people they were able to accept and hold onto democracy. Germany certainly as it had it before Hitler took power, Japan because they were a united people and united culture and were defeated and had to admit that. SK is less stark as they were already fighting Japanese imperialism of their own and became their own entity after Japan was defeated in WW II and thus had already shown themselves united and capable of fighting for their own. None of this is true with the current ME countries and we can see that decades and decades of interventionism there has led to nothing good, and our wars have produced nothing good. Just thousands of dead Americans and trillions more in debt.
Informed enough to say that South Korea didn't benefit from the Korean War, or that Japan and Germany are the only modern democracies that were established by military intervention?
