foreign control of their affairs. They will deal, as a SOVEREIGN nation with other nations, the US included, but the old US backed dictatorships with zero concerns for what those dictators were doing to their own people, that era is gone. It's a new world and the US will have adjust to not seeing itself as the ruler of the world. The world doesn't want us interfering in their internal affairs. It started in Latin America, most of those countries now have democratic governments and are no longer under the control of US backed dictators.

It is the US that now has to think about its position in this new world. We are still supporting brutal dictators, and puppet governments, as in Iraq and in Uzbekistan one of the worst dictators in the world. We have been thoroughly exposed as hypocrites who talk about democracy while supporting the exact opposite.

Like spoiled chidren, we can no longer just take what we want, we will have to start acting like grownups and deal honestly with and respect sovereign nations ruled by governments chosen by their people, NOT by the US. Our 'interests' have conflicted greatly with the interests of most of the ME, Africa and Latin America and that is what is changing. THEY have interests also, which we arrogantly ignored for so long.
