How can we export freedom to other nations or even stand with freedom seekers in other nations when the freedoms we have been granted via the US Constitution are contingent upon the whims of the judiciary?

This country has never had any intention of "exporting freedom" to other nations. Just think of our foreign policy as a series of major business decisions . . . when it makes financial sense to "support freedom and democracy," we'll do it. When it makes financial sense to support radical Islamic elements in Europe (see Kosovo, for example), we'll do it.

lol. That clarifies it. Why don't we have some President who'll say that? I guess in a way that President Reagan did. He was anti-communist all the way. So does free-dom equal free trade? Or does freedom equal democracy?
