I share your revulsion, but what exactly does it mean to fight for 
democracy in a tribal society? This is a real question. I have not studied 
Anthropology or Sociology...so how exactly does that work? This is 
important inasmuch as the left is responsible for presenting alternate 
possibilities, rather than simply criticizing whatever the US happens to be 
doing or promoting.
