Me, well, I believe differently.
I know there are no guarantees on outcome, but I would rather have my money and my military fight the fight for freedom all over the world at times of crisis when the people under oppression make the first moves. I believe in this.
Of course my life is not on the line like our military's is. So my stance is not easily defendible.
But somehow freedom does not taste full when I know there are others suffering incredible brutality and fighting to be free of it.
America is great-and btw-over one hundred thousand troups were killed in the civil war-which was not a war against a tyrant-but a war about keeping the union together and abolishing slavery as a result.
That is a prescription for endless war. What about Myanmar, Tibet, North Korea, Zimbabwe, etc. etc.
it sounds great but freedom means different things to different cultures. In the mideast their freedom revolution will certainly lead to another mullah controlled, Iran style “freedom.” I feel that all these revolutions are part of a concerted movement to advance the cause of Islam, which is, of course, total domination of the world. I don't know who is pulling the strings, but IMO, there are strings being pulled.
