Well, I Think The United States First

I Think Clearly The United States, As Well As Other Western Nations, Should Stand By Their Commitments To Human Rights And Democracy And Should Try To Influence Other Countries To Move In That Direction.

Global Politics Remains Extremely Complex And Countries Have Different Interests, Which Will Also Lead Them To Make What Might Seem As Rather Bizarre Friends And Allies.

Turkey Has Its Own Interests And Historically, Turkey Conquered Most Of The Arab World, And The Arabs Had To Fight Wars Of Liberation To Free Themselves From The Turks. That's In The Past And That Doesn't Necessarily Shape What Is Going On But It's There And It's There In People's Memories.

The U.s. Has And Still Is Cooperating With Various Military Dictatorships Around The World. Obviously We Would Prefer To See Them Democratized, But We Are Doing It Because We Have National Interests, Whether It's Working With Pakistan On Afghanistan Or Whatever.

It Will Take A Long Time, And Certainly The West Will Remain The Dominant Civilization Well Into The Next Century, But The Decline Is Occurring.
