Unfortunately, little has changed, except maybe to expand the idea.
Now the US has a God-given mandate to "democratize" the planet.

You mean "democratize the parts with oil", do you not?

We have a morality driven mandate to bring democracy (democratic
governments have never warred against each other) to those countries
creating a great deal of trouble to their neighbors and the rest of
the world.

That being the case, I guess sombody fell asleep at the wheel when the
Burmese people democratically elected a government, but the military
refused to relinquish control. It might even be there's some oil
there - (there used to be a "Burma Oil company" anyway!)


Has Burma been creating a great deal of trouble for their neighbors and
the rest of the world?

What was that about a Burma Teak Import ban???
