Free countries are peaceful and do not attack their neighbors.

nikos want a cracker?

What poppycock. Todays "free country" can be tomorrow's totalitarian country. Ask any German or any African of any of several stripes.

I think I must be like Rip Van Winkle and missed something. Did a democratic Germany or African nation declare war against someone when I was asleep?

I'll take my chances with people who have had the taste of freedom, believing that they are less likely to become totalitarian and they will rise up once those freedoms are threatened. This is what in happening in former soviet block countries and obviously there are people in Iran who remember what freedom, albeit not perfect, was like years ago and they're restless again for it.

Regarding your personal remarks towards me, I'll ignore them for now.
