The great achievement of America was the founding on the concept of individual rights, rights given by God and not government and that is what makes America unique to the World and is an enemy to all tyrants.

Well said!

Others may disagree, but I believe that one of the underlying feelings in those who don't believe that America should help other countries create systems of government that share the values of our Constitution.....i.e. personal liberty........is arrogance.

It is definitely true in the case of Iraq. The elitists on this board, and the elitists in academia and the left in general don't think that the Iraqis are capable of living in freedom.

As a Christian, I firmly disagree. America's form of government is unique, but the God-breathed nature of all humanity is not. The desire for freedom is universal because cultures may be different, but human beings are innately the same, regardless of the place of their birth.
