Simon: What countries do America "props up" that no other western nation as not recognized or deals with already? And what about the countries America has propped up where they got it right? Does that count? What about Cuba? All European countries help "prop up" Cuba by tourism and trading, except America.
The fact is every world power in history has had a history of resistence. All Nations have had dealings with "bad" nations in the past, remember Hitler? Today?s friends become tomorrow?s enemies in Nation relationships, so what is new?
How can we use context in world history to battle this evil? That is the real concerns......
