Democracy and liberty is only a convenient ploy. US keeps advocating democracy because it knows well how to play the game well better than most countries including its European roots, in such a way that it could infiltrate and topple any government it wants under such pretext.

US toppled Iraq and Liberia because these two countries wanted to price their oil using Euros and not US dollars, despite UN passed several resolutions, declaring such actions as illegal and unjustified.

Most of the excessive dollars US minted to cover its domestic and foreign deficits are circulating outside of US. Having the Iraqi and the Liberian oil priced and traded using Euro would be catastrophic to the US economy, because these $US would flow back into US, creating hyper-inflation, and possibly a deep recession, if not depression.

US itself does not give a damn about human rights and democracy, even though it keeps waving a banner bearing those words to the world. Before the Musilm mullahs took over Iran in 1978, Iran had a totalitarian government under the Shah of Iran. Guess what? The Shah of Iran was a US puppet-dictator put into power by the US, after it toppled Iran's public-elected government, because this government refused to allow US to take control of its national oil reserve. You could research past history of Iran to verify the facts.

In short, all US interested in is to be a super-power, calling shots around the world. It would invade, infiltrate, fragment and topple any government that refuses to dance to its drum in the name of democracy, human rights and liberty.
