The west use to treat women the same but we changed. Its only a matter of time and commitment.
I guess if you dont believe that we should change these crazy governments than is your belief that we should just let them fester there and only worry about ourselves?

Yes, because bringing democracy is so easy to another nation, just like waving a magic wand. Do you know how many nations have sucessfully been converted to a democracy with the use of force?
Part of the reason a lot of the countries in Africa are in dire straights is exactly that line of thinking. Trying to force a new government down the throats of the people hasn't worked in so many cases. People have to WANT democracy in order to affect change, and sadly, sometimes you have to let nature take its course so to speak. You in fact end up causing more trouble by going into the region than if you hadn't gone in the first place.
