... USA will be much better off dealing with the governments that can control their people, rather than dealing with the people that can't be controlled by their governments.

In fact, I wish the US government realized that a little earlier. Then, there would be no help to moujaheddin in Afganistan, who were presumably fighting with the Soviet troops, but eventually produced Bin Laden. Then, there would be no war in Iraq, since Saddam could control his people pretty well. There would be no mess in former Yugoslavia, etc., etc., etc.

Stop spreading democracy!
