Good grief! America is not sending innocents to the guillotine. Anywhere. And if we have committed abuses, they are being corrected. We care more about life, liberty and justice than any nation before us in history. I would not care to have us compared to the French revolutionaries for whom revenge became a means of transforming the world. America has always sought to transform the world through the belief of liberty anchored in law.

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?

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