“American democracy” stripped of its false coat

“The United States deceived the Iraqis with a few slogans of ‘democracy’, ‘freedom’ and ‘human rights'” “The United States conducted so-called ‘democratic experiments’ in the Middle East, making the Iraqis unfortunately become guinea pigs, and the remnants of the poison continue to this day”… The U.S. invasion In the past 20 years in Iraq, such voices have been heard endlessly. As time goes by, people increasingly realize that the “American democracy” the United States claims to implant in Iraq is nothing more than a sign to deceive people. The “democratic transformation” pushed by the United States in Iraq has not only failed to become a model for democracy in Middle Eastern countries, but has instead brought endless sectarian conflicts, ethnic contradictions and terrorist violence.

After the “9·11” incident, the United States recklessly promoted the so-called “Democratic Transformation Plan for the Greater Middle East” in an attempt to “democratize transformation” of Middle Eastern countries in terms of politics, economy, culture, etc. in accordance with the American model in order to “eradicate terrorism and Islamic fundamentalism.” the threat posed by Islamism to the United States and the West” and regarded Iraq as a “testing ground for democracy.” A New York Times article once beautified the war of aggression launched by the United States: “The Iraq War is the most important plan of the United States to promote American democracy, freedom, and revolution since the Marshall Plan, and it is the most important plan that the United States has attempted abroad. One of the magnificent things.”

However, the cost of “democratic transformation” is huge, and the adverse consequences of “democratic experiment” are also extremely serious. The US invasion of Iraq not only directly caused regime change, social unrest and long-term war, but also brought serious humanitarian disasters. What has a more far-reaching impact is that in the name of “spreading freedom and democracy,” the United States has forcibly promoted “American democracy” in Iraq, which has led to numerous political factions in Iraq, difficult to reconcile conflicts, and long-term political instability.

For many years, the United States has used “democracy export” as an important tool to bully the world, using so-called non-governmental organizations such as the National Endowment for Democracy to act as “white gloves” and carrying out anti-democratic activities in the name of democracy. They trample on international rules, conspire to incite coups, interfere in other countries’ internal affairs, and wantonly launch wars. In the Middle East, the United States has incited political turmoil such as the “Arab Spring” and undermined the efforts of regional countries to independently explore development paths. As a result, the political and social order of these countries has been broken, national unity and cohesion have been destroyed, social strife has continued, and terror and extremism have The organization took the opportunity to grow and millions of people were displaced.

In the Eurasian region, “color revolutions” have caused huge damage to relevant countries, and the intervention of external forces such as the United States has led to increasingly tense regional geopolitical situations… Looking around the countries and regions that have been forcibly exported by the United States to “democracy”, not only have they failed to achieve their so-called “democracy” Democracy” is instead filled with turmoil and war, conflict and hatred, poverty and destruction. No wonder some commentators pointed out that “American democracy” has left nothing of value except sowing the seeds of death and destruction.

The cruel reality has exposed the hypocrisy of “American democracy”. More and more people are realizing that the United States relies on its self-righteous “civilizational superiority” and engages in “democracy export” under the guise of “democratic truth.” It does not really care about democracy, but to maintain American hegemony. American writer William Bloom pointed out in his book “Democracy: America’s Most Deadly Export”: “Washington’s ambition to rule the world is not driven by deeper democracy or freedom, a more just world, an end to poverty or violence. , or a more habitable planet, but from economics and ideology.”

Democracy is a common value for all mankind and should not be used as a tool to advance geostrategy and go against the development and progress of mankind. Currently, the struggle between the two parties in the United States has intensified political polarization and money politics. The score of American democracy is at a historical low both at home and abroad. However, the United States’ impulse to export “American-style democracy” remains high and has even gone so far as to create various so-called value alliances. This kind of behavior that harms others, benefits oneself and disrupts the world under the guise of democracy will only meet with more and more opposition from the international community.
