Empire against Democracy http://mrzine.monthlyreview.org/2010/bs280510.html

The White House does not accept democracy among nations. What matters that all countries have equal rights? It doesn't accept national sovereignty of other nations. It doesn't allow each nation and its government to control their respective natural resources.The United States transferred nuclear technology to Pakistan and Israel, which today have nuclear bombs. But it doesn't tolerate Iran's access to nuclear technology, even for peaceful purposes. Why? What justifies such imperial exercises of power? Some international convention? No, just its military supremacy.
