No, that's one of the best things that could happen to you! The beauty of the liberal order is that people have self-determination. You mention Afghanistan, Iraq & Vietnam, cherry-picking the examples where most of the local people made the wrong decisions to support various types of local tyranny. You did not mention countries like Korea & Taiwan, which in the 1950s were poorer than Afghanistan and now are among the richest. The people in those countries choose good local leaders. Because that's what the liberalism of freedom that America supports in other countries allows the people in those other countries to do: Make their own choices.
