I specified the US also because I was responding to the quoted article whose topic is the US in Iraq. It said that the US was doing what others had failed to do in the Middle East after WWI. It implied that the West is superior and needs to guide the inferior Middle East towards enlightenment.

It also implies that colonization by the European powers during the era of political imperialism was good for Africa, South America, and southern Asia. It implies that the rest of the world is stupid and backward and needs our fatherly wisdom.

That's arrogance to me.
France intervened in countless african nations because they didn't like the government, and when they got their collective arse whooped (Ivory Coast), they cried.

China...hrm...Tibet anyone?
