As to trying to topple non-democratic governments, on paper its a laudable goal. But as places like Iraq shows it often causes devils bargains to be struck with dictators and despots.

Back to my original query - where does this 'world-hate' phenomenon come from? Am I correct in assuming from Sadistic-Saviour's earlier reply that he/she might consider that no bad thing?
