Those that risk nothing for freedom do not value it or the sacrifices

fate.

Richard had made this point a while ago elsewhere and I admit that its truth
gave me pause. I still think that liberating the Iraqis was a morally good
thing to do, but I agree that we cannot force them to accept Freedom and
Democracy. It is chilling, sad, downright incontheivable that such a gift
wouldn’t be totally embraced.

Have you seen how your version of ‘democracy’ is doing right now? Let’s play
a game--let’s ask people around the world whether they want to be a insert
their country here or an American.
That would be a poll I’d love to see.

Why make it a game? Just look at the numbers. Which country has the most
people trying to get to her shores?
| |
Riots in the streets, fighting, killing, looting, xenophobic views of the
rest of the world... I can see why people would love to embrace your values.
|
Xenophobic views of the rest of the world???? Let’s talk about your skewed
perception of the US first!
