Every freedom-loving democratic country in the world would love to see an expansion of democracy around the world. Now, what would be the most effective way for the US to accomplish that? Through cooperation with other freedom-loving democratic countries, or by unilaterally deciding to ignore all those potential allies, storming into country after country with all guns blazing, and alienating all those other freedom-loving countries from you in the process?Thus, the most important thing for the United States to do in the current situation, is to create a push for the expansion of democracy around the world, so as to create a world situation whereby the risks you cite might be minimized, as quickly as possible.
