We In The United States Are Very Often - Since We Are A Democracy And We Have National Interests, We've Often Made The Mistake That A Democracy Has To Adopt America's Interests, And That Is A Contradiction Because A Democracy Basically Is People Deciding What Their Interests Are.

Advocating Democracy Has, By Other People, Often Been Taken As A Form Of Imperialism, And Not Without Some Justification.
