I suppose it takes one to know one and all that.  Although, given the thread in question was basically him pointing out that while South Korea was a pretty horrific regime for a while, because it was better than North Korea then that was all alright.  It's still and interesting question, because if the best options you have for showing that US has a good history in nation building are South Korea and the Philippines then I think you need to start defining nation building.

I discounted Germany and Japan on account of them being more group efforts and having a lot of resources thrown at them.  If we were remotely, as the west, prepared to throw that kind of resource and effort at helping in other parts of the world I wouldn't be as deeply cynical as I am.

Heh.

Interestingly, I get called a few names by some of Jordan's friends here and, gosh, when I follow the links to their live journals I learn lots of things.  Apparently, the democrats and Obama are turning the US into a socialist hell hole.

Glad these guys are around to keep us safe :p
