Brian, If we follow the money trail in this political world, we can always find a reason why we do what we do. The question also arises - Do the people we seek to "help" really want our help-and do they want democracy?

This is a sad commentary, but I think there is a lot of truth in it. Thanks for this, Brian, it certainly makes one think.

I think you can figure out who Gee Bee is.

In answer to Rogers question about the last stanza. It is both.

Again, you hit the nails right on their heads with a beautiful flowing and well crafted poem.
I agree with all of Roger's comments.
Keep them coming!

I like the "enter/ exit" style of this poem. It raises critical questions about our leaders and their intentions while invading a land. One invades a country, hopefully with the right intentions and not to plunder resources. In your first stanza, it should be, "Democracy's torch." The last stanza is a bit confusing to me, is it a question or a statement?
