Can the bolded statement be any further from the truth?
You mean those "free democracies" in the Phillipines, Iran, Iraq, South Viet Nam, ETC, ETC, ETC that the US implemented as pupits during the 20th century? You mean those leaders that the US installed that were known as Marcos, the shah, Saddam and Diem? Those "free democracies" that were "defeating" brutal murderous tryrannies? LOL

Unfortunately for you ... everyone else knows that when you resort to name-calling and personal attacks ... you're admitting that you've lost the argument.
Your knowledge of history seems to be limited ... so I'll provide a list of places where the United States defeated tyranny and brought about freedom and democracy.
• We defeated the murderous, genocidal National Socialists ... and helped Germany and Austria become free democracies. In doing so ... we liberated the peoples of France, Belgium, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Yugoslavia, and Norway from the brutal National Socialist regime.
• We defeated the murderous Socialist Workers Movement ... and helped Italy to become a free democracy.
• We defeated the murderous, genocidal Shinto Imperialists ... and helped Japan become a free democracy. In doing so ... we liberated China, Korea, The Phillipines, Burma, Thailand, and Indonesia from their brutal rule.
• We defeated mass-murdering Soviet Communism ... and in doing so liberated Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan from its brutal rule ... and also liberated Poland, Czechoslovakia, Romania, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Moldova, Bulgaria, and Hungary ... most of which are now free democracies.
• We supported those who fought totalitarian communism in Spain, South Korea, Taiwan, Nicarague, El Salvador, Chile, Grenada, Cambodia, and The Phillipines ... all of which are now free democracies.
• We supported democratic movements in South Africa, Haiti, and Rhodesia ... all of which became free democracies ... though the latter two have slid backwards since.
• We defeated the murderous, totalitarian Baathist rule in Iraq ... and helped establish a free democracy.
• We supported those who fought totalitarian communism in North Korea, Vietnam, Laos, and Angola ... which so far have been unsuccessful in establishing free democracies.
• At no point have we used our military superiority to conquer and subjugate anyone.
All of the above was achieved in less than 65 years ... a virtual blink of an eye in historic terms. I'd say it adds up to quite a splendid set of achievements in promoting freedom and democaracy.
Are you aware of any other country ... now or at any time in the past ... which has done more to promote and establish freedom? If so ... please provide the details.
