Silly Billy, it doesn't matter if the people in a non-Western country like their government, it only matters if we like their government (or to be more specific if our government likes their government; if our government doesn't like their government and decides to go to war with them, we will also conveniently not like their government and it will be because we came to that position independently, not because we'll feel we're supposed to)
