Pan-democratismo Wilsoniano

excerto de diálogo entre Sir Edward Grey com o Embaixador dos EUA, W.H.Page, sobre a questão mexicana, em 1913:

Grey - Suppose you have to intervene, what then?
Page - Make'em vote and live by their decisions.
Grey - But suppose they will not so live?
Page - We'll go in again and make'em vote again.
Grey - And keep this up two hundred years?
Page - Yes. The United States will be here two hundred years, and it can continue to shoot men for that little space till they learn to vote and to rule themselves.
