We care more about life, liberty and justice than any nation before us in history.

Don't you see that statement is dripping in pride? Where's the humble self-restraint on which true greatness and good government rests?

America has always sought to transform the world through the belief of liberty anchored in law.

Like in World War II, when we made the world free for our democratic ally, Joseph Stalin. No human endeavour is an absolute good.

It's on display every day in Iraq and Afganistan, if you are paying any attention. You ask where the self-restraint is? We've been fighting some of the worst people on the face of the earth for two years and the worst transgression on our part has been some REMFs taking naughty pictures of prisoners.
Like in World War II, when we made the world free for our democratic ally, Joseph Stalin. No human endeavour is an absolute good.
True, but some human endeavors are an absolute evil. Like totalitarianism. Or terrorism. So, the not absolutely good United States must do what it can, while most of the rest of world sucks their thumbs...and while puds from Lew Rockwell impugn the motives of people whose overriding desire and life mission is a strong United States.
