Those that risk nothing for freedom do not value it or the sacrifices
of those that did. In other words, the Iraqis needed to decide their own
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?
|
Yeah, that’s always been a bit confusing. Americans don’t like others, the
country is built on the backs of those “others” that came here...etc.

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!
|
See above. Americans are xenophobic. Especially now. I could attribute that
to the majority religion, but I know that’d REALLY fan some flames, so I won’t.
