President Bush, in his inaugural address and in his State of the Union address, emphasized that the United States’ main foreign policy objective was to spread peace and freedom throughout the world. And, we believe him, don’t we, kids, because the President would never lie about such an important thing. Right? Right.
The President may have allowed his enthusiasm to get the better of him, though, when he claimed that spreading freedom and democracy had been America’s mission throughout the country’s history. Does this assertion accurately represent the historical record? Well, to answer that question is why this game was invented!
Simply go to each of the following geographical areas and find the country that the United States has supported as a democracy. It’s fun! It’s educational! It’s not as easy as you think! Still, it’s always worth asking just where in the world is American supported democracy?
LATIN AMERICA
THE MIDDLE EAST
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
