CJ I suggest you travel to the Middle East where they will respect your opinion.
Freedom, Liberty, Open Markets, are NOT American monopolies- they should and hopefully will be applied to all parts of the world.
Oh and I am not saying the US is going to war in Iraq to make their lives better - really I do not care. However, unlike the people in Africa who are abusing girls, the scumbags in the middle east have brought their contempt for human life, and their aggression to OUR shores.
If they were just blowing each other up, we would have a press release.... but since they came to our shores and attacked us, and will cotninue to do so until we stop them - we had to act.
Beleive me, I do not think we are doing this because we want to help the woorld out - we are doing it to help US out - primarily. Getting rid of a dictator, and possibly creatinga democratic regime, helping the Iraquis out is a bonus. Of course creating a liberated middle east, who becomes part of the global economy it can only help the US. We need more people to buy the crap we make. We need more consumers.... if Iraqies are surfing for porn in a free world, pulling out their bank of bagdad VISA card to join one of my sites, maybe they will not waste their time building weapons of mass destruction to hand out to all the other bad guys in their neighborhood.
When people have a higher quality life, freedom, property rights, can aspire to do whatever they want with their lives- they will eventually get a better apprecaite for the value of human life and will not become or support terrorist. That is how you solve terrorism.... not by hiding, kissing their asses, giving mroe aid to the dictators who run their country, or anything else.
People are responsible for the gov'ts in which they live under.
Bottom line in is democracies, with free market economies do not attack other democracies.
