    What gives you, me or anyone in this country the right to tell a different country how to manage its people.

    I never seen a communist country tell Australia how to mangage its people. So what gives us a right to tell them how to manage their people?

    Well, no one likes Australia, since you only get two extra units. I always try to occupy it first, though, since it's so easy to defend, only one entry point.

    EDIT: Fien, fien, seriousness. D:< Mistar bossy pants admin.
    Yes, OK, Bush sucks. We get that. Many of us have gotten that since the beginning. The rest of us have gotten this just recently. And god knows we say it enough(And will be saying it long after he's gone I'm sure). It's the general consensus. Now he's gonna get kicked out of the white house, and we'll start packing up and leaving. The problem is being fixed. >_>
    Also, @Furious D(Post below): Why yes it is. Risk for the ultimate win.

    Lol, is that a Risk reference? Haven't played that in years.

    What is this rant... er, "debate" about anyway? Am I missing something?

    Democracy is not the opposite of Communism.

    Regardless, it is to a certain extent wholly reasonable for a society as relatively well-off as America to assume that we have the right formula for success in politics. For an example, we have not had a dictator, nor a communist rule, nor a genocide.

    However, that is to a certain extent. There are issues like extreme Nationalism, radicals, and just plain racism.

    I fulheartedly agree with Nemi, its in the same sense that you would accept advice from a grandfather but not your brother. When a person, or country, has been around long enough, and through that time successful. It is then their duty to try and help the "younger" or rather "less successful" country.

    to do otherwise would be selfish.
