This quote will rankle some, and I don't post it standing from any moral high ground. Rather, I believe it succinctly captures why the last 16+ years of global warfare in the name of spreading democracy has been, and is, a Fool's errand.
“The term ‘democracy’ … does not contain enough positive content to stand alone against the forces you dislike—it can be easily be transformed by them. If you will not have God... you should pay your respects to Hitler and Stalin.”
-T.S. Elliot
