Abstract
Democracy promotion is a foreign policy adopted by governments and international organizations that seek to spread democracy as a political system around the world. While this policy is perceived by some as legal and legitimate mainly by the western democracies precisely the U.S.A; others claimed the opposite that the western democracies do not have the right to exercise such activity. Egypt is one case where the U.S.A planned its aid program in order to save according to the "egyptians from authoritarianism" under the umbrella of "democracy promotion". The present work contends that behind the blog argument that Democracies do not fight each other democracy promotion argument as merely an imperialist, global and beneficial reason. Publicly, the United States pronounced its role as the world's super-power to spread human rights and democracy in the world (along with other western democracies). In reality, the U.S.A violated such claims and especially through military interventions like that of Iraq. All of that gave the United States of America a hypocritical image which became so clear in recent decades regardless of the efforts done to hide it.
