Question

If the USA is against dictators then why don't we overthrow N. Korea, Cuba, China, Iran, Syria?

Answer 1

Those countries must overthrow the American regime.

Answer 2

We in the USA have our own dictator to worry about.

Bush and his Rubberstamp Repubicans - like Old Man McCain - have been taking America down the road to Fascism.

Barring another Diebold incident, he will be overthrown this November.

Answer 3

You be the first to join the army!!!! and why do u want overthrow them, they are too far........

Answer 4

Don't be ridiculous.  It is not in our best interest to go overthrowing countries just because we disagree with them.

Obviously you need to do some research and do some thinking - maybe a couple of months in basic training will do you good too!

Answer 5

NO OIL!!! or no political gain.

Answer 6

Answer 8

The U.S. does not overthrow these regimes because the U.S. is, in truth, not opposed to dictatorships. What we are "against" is anyone who gets in our way. We've propped up plenty of evil men; as long as they've served our interests, we've been perfectly fine with dictators who murder thousands of their own citizens, who imprison their political opponents, or who otherwise efficiently promote capitalism. See guys like Pinochet, where we, the freedom-loving, God-blessed Americans, overthrew a freely elected democracy to install a ruthless military dictatorship... all because the Chilean people chose a leftist over a conservative. Go Team America!

And let's not forget Saddam Hussein, a former ally of the US government (along with Osama) who faithfully served as our very own Emmanuel Goldstein throughout the 1990s and early 2000s. A figure to be reviled not for his crimes against humanity, which were used as a marketing point, but ultimately for getting in our way.

Oh, but you don't learn about that in school.

It's all about money. We aren't in Iraq to "free" the Iraqis. We are there to control our supply of oil. In case you haven't noticed, energy is becoming the major question of the 21st Century. The guys at the helm have known this all along. That is why they decided to conquer Iraq, and also why they are so eager to go after Iran.

Unfortunately for us, imperialism hasn't turned out so well, has it?

Answer 9

A) we dont have the money because of the war we are in now

B) we can't just go and start overthrowing countries, we have to first let the whole world kinda know whats going on

C) We benefit from most of those countries, we don't want them as enemies
