If I yell "Freedom" until I'm blue in the face and I quietly support the United Nations with my dollars. Which one is making the louder statement?

Ding, ding and dis-information rings again.

Oh, stop it, you are out of line, and you know it!

The serious question is: what is disingenuous about Bush's attitude? He believes he is right. Tony Blair believes it. Berlesconi believes. So does Koizumi. One world of capitalism, national borders blurred, interlocking business relationships, and freedom of travel and communication. These were long said to be the keys to preventing war.

We're getting what we've always wanted. There's no conspiracy here. We all say it, we all think it, we all want it.

Or did. I think the lessons of the UN are critical. You can't bring peace to the world and then give it all away. Not three times in a row.

We need to learn: free countries have to defend themselves and other free countries first. Nothing should ever be given to the tyrants without exacting a price in increased security or freedoms for their own peoples and neighbors.

I don't think we've learned this as a western civilization yet. It's not just our good-hearted President who doesn't get it.
