"lack of self determination by their country' people."

This was the last line of my post- correcting this problem is a time consuming, resouce draining task, and i do not think the way to do so is to invade a country, demolish its infrastructure/governing body and the set up a fragile government. This is what i feel we are doing in Iraq, again i think that we are giving more reasons to more people to attack the us and our interests. I agree that a capitalistic democratic society is less likely to produce terroists, but i cannont think of one example where an outside invasion led to the toppling of a dictatorship, and then resultedin a stable democratic country.
