  12. I think you are close, theocratic regimes, yes, but also any regime that has a group with all the money, all the power and all the answers. China, Russia ... and sadly our own country is starting to be like that in some ways - and that is why I supported Bernie Sanders so early in this race. He is the only one who seems to be able to see and articulate this. I just don't know why some of you have such a boner for hating religions. I just ignore religion for the most part. So do most Europeans these days. For some reason America is the last developed country where we have the threat of these fundamentalist religious nuts ... but I do not see them taking over. The same trend is happening in the US of people who are religious becoming secularized. I would question that secular socialist democracy is the answer for certain parts of the world. I would not hesitate to call it the goal, but I think our experience in Iraq and with other countries seems to indicate it is impossible to bring secular socialist democracy to people who do not want it or do not understand it. The only success the US has ever had with this kind of nation building was with Germany and Japan post-WWII also South Korea after the Korean war. But both of those countries were completely decimated and ready to have a better system. Draw whatever conclusion you want from that example. Another problem is that Americans know f-all about history and what happened in these countries. We are much too willing to use too much force, and in some cases not willing to use enough force. I remember before 2000 where many people were talking about what the Taliban was doing to people in Afghanistan, and blowing up ancient statues. If we had a civilized world something would have been done to stop them as we have done something to stop ISIS. Now the whole area is a mess and people do not know what to do and have nowhere to go.
