Why do you assume the US will only fight totalitarian regimes ?


Name a non-totalitarian regime that has a good chance of going up

Or that totalitarian regimes can't exist with the suport of the
population - remember that only about 20 % of the worlds population
share our western values.


Name a true regime of that sort with real popular support. Should be
simple, right?


Well, a lot of it depends on what you mean by totalitarian. Some
people would call Iran that,


Only people who don't know what totalitarian means.

but the government enjoys a fair amount
of support,


So have many repressive regimes, for example Nazi Germany (at least
in the early years).
