We know this is false, we've seen it before.
We're not in other countries to promote 'democracy' the ideal, we're there fighting to sustain 'democracy' the way of life for some.
And that means America is King. It's true, it's disgusting. Since WWII and the fear of another Depression, we've "embraced" a global economy.
Let's explain it in terms of a successful Age of Empires campaign. If you haven't played this game before, it's pretty much played like you'd think from the title. You build up an empire as a certain race of people and then either fight people to total annihilation or create treaties with them. One way to guarantee your future empire-awesomeness is to spread out on the limited map early. Get miners to mineral sites, loggers to forests and barracks anywhere you can. This way, you ensure that you have the most wealth and therefore strength, even when it means encroaching on some other race's natural resources. That is how you win quickly.
This is how America works. Want to interfere in Latin American markets without being afraid of native populations revolting against American corporations stealing their shit? NAFTA. Want to start a war over oil in a country struggling to combat its own internal conflicts? Weapons of mass destruction. Want to spruce up the ol' economy, line the pockets of your politicians and give jobs to your contractor friends? Reinvigorate the idea of American Supremacy and go fight in Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq and Pakistan. Want to reneg on the American contract of life, liberty and property because it threatens your economic status? Domestic terrorism.
All so we can feel better about the size of our dicks.
