What is spread, though, and spreading, is a hatred and resentment for those who would force their way of thinking, that is, democracy, on an unwilling, ignorant, backward people who neither want nor understand it. Let them rule themselves in the way they see fit. They've been doing that for longer than we have. Who are we to storm in, guns a-blazing, and say that our way is better than theirs? Let them figure out what's best for them and let them use their own sons and daughters blood as currency not ours. If they stumble into democracy, well, all the better. If not, then that's their issue. The bodies pile up, from both sides, like heaps of manure, and what have we got to show for it?
