I think perhaps we have some scales of our own to shake off.

I don't believe we hold any moral high ground. I've seen the pictures of the gassed victims of Iraq. I've also noted the 30 year milestone we've reached in this country with legal abortion.

I've also noted how we've helped create people like Sadaam Hussein around the globe.

I've also noted our selective outrage when people are being murdered around the globe.

Onward Christian soldiers.

Abortion which I oppose, is far less heinous than what Hussein does to people who have the ability to remember-- an ability which even infants don't possess.

We didn't "create" Hussein. We supported him in conflict with Iran since Iran was viewed as a more serious threat to our national interests. Countries take sides in conflicts all the time. The French helped us end the Revolutionary War during the Battle at Yorktown. The French may not have loved us, but they loved the British less. Do the French have responsibility for our 30 years of abortions? No, of course not.

We shouldn't and don't engage in every civil war. We should save people who are being tortured and killed because of their thoughts and words. Every time we fail to do so, we fail to defend liberty-- our highest calling as a superpower.
