You Might Be A Useful Idiot Part 1.2

If you accept that a major construction project (freeway interchange, high rise building, etc.) will take 5 years to complete, yet consider it a failure if deposing a dictator, rebuilding the entire infrastructure of a country, putting in place a new government and writing a constitution to appease a religious and culturally diverse society takes more than a year and is thus a quagmire, you might be a useful idiot.

If you enjoy the freedoms that a democracy has to offer, yet consider people of the Middle East incapable and/or undeserving of running a democratic society, you might be a useful idiot.

If you think the poor choose to be that way, you might be a useful idiot.
