My point being, why are the western powers only interesting in promoting democracy, and opposing tyrants, if there is an economic (colonial) interest?

Why do we depose/oppose elected governments, only when there is an economic interest?

Why do we only insist on democracy, when the winning parties are in-sync with our economic interests? Why do we ignore the others?

Why are we only concerned about human rights, when there is an economic interest by our country?

Why should we be trusted as being on the "high ground"?

Why should we be seen a role model by evolving nations - looking to us for leadership and compassion, versus the alternatives?
