Buildimg democracy in Irak, Iran, Afghanistans, Lybia, Syria, etc., is not important, nor is it essential to have politically stable regimes after the evil regimes are overthrown.
What is important is that those countries do not become baes for terrorists, do not finance terrorists, do not have nuclear weapons that can threaten their neighbours or the civilized world, specifically the World that has civilized or is in the process of civilizing the world, not so much through empires and invasions but with ideas.
Basically, the West is the continuation of Greek classical thought about human reason as the basis to understanding ourselves, nature and the universe instead of this or that god, holy book, prophet or messiah.
By a fluke, the Italians and other Europeans rediscovered Greek thought and, bless them!, became fascinated, sparked the Renaissance and the Enlightenment that recivilized the Europeans and European Jews to Greek Reason.
In the process they initiated the destruction of religious faith, brought democracy and pushed off rule by god or holy books.
Im other words, our civilization is Greek ( they civilized the Romans too), it is the religion that is and is in the process of having been, Christian.
No, the advance is not Marxism, the “religion” that hates religin, but democracy.
In a democracy no god or priest rules anything, nor does the general secretary of any totalitarian, religous like, communist party inspired by “prophet” Marx and his insane “holy book”, Das Kapital.
In a democracy, in a real one, the people are free to propose ideas to their fellow citizens. The citizens debate them and vote to decide which law or policy should rule the community or the nation; no king, no president, no prime minister, no pope, no rabbi, no religion, no political ideology.
That is what the ancient Greeks did. Today. Only one country comes close to real democracy, Switzerland.
The Swiss people, unlike the people or the democracies of the ancient Greek city-states, do not decide every law or policy but decide ANY law or policy they choose to decide when about 1% of the registered voters decide a policy, law or the constitition must be decided by binding popular referendum.
In other words, among the modern democracies, Switzerland is the only one that can be considered a real democracy.
The rest of the so-called democracies are not so. They are elected aristocracies which often, such is the case in the US and many orhers, are dominated by lobbies who represent oligarchs.
Non democracies, like China, Iran, Saudi Arabia. Cuba, North Korea, etc , are inhumane abominations where the people have less rights than domestic animals.
Having said that, and regardless of the abominal actions of the Israeli army, directed by Netanyahu, in Gaza or of Trump’s protecting the Epstein criminal class, attacking and destroying crazy Mullahs of Iran is a proper moral action.
The Ayatollahs are so terrorific that do not only kill Iranians who protest, they kill gays, they enslave women with pre- Stonehenge clothing and behavioural rules, kill people who freely decide to abandon Islam and other crazy stuff like forcing women to play football with heads covered; they go beyond tha; the Ayatollahs are so terrorific that even states almost as backward as Iran, like Saudi Arabia, are so scared of them that they seek the protection of non-Moslem states, like US, and are even happy that the Jews bomb the hell out of Iran.
Maybe Bibi and Trump should go to jail for Gaza and Trump for the Epstein files, but on Iran they are 100% right, even if their motivation was to distract from Gaza and Epstein.
What is irrational is for many people to oppose attacking the crazy Iranian regime because of Gaza, because they hate the Jews or because they hate Trump.
It is irrational for the World to tolerate a regime like Iran’s; inhumane to its people, a threat to its neighbours, to Israel, to the West and a regime that if it had nuclear weapons could at will destroy the economies of the Gulf states and of much of the World by closing the Straights of Hormuz.
