I'll give you credit for openly admitting that you stand by the side of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

Incorrect. I agree with the statement. Unlike you, I can seperate the message from the messenger.

Zarqawi's answer is to impose theocracy. Which is an equally wrong solution in a world of imperfect people.

The fact is, imperfect people can never create a perfect society. However, a form of democracy can come the closest because generally a majority of people will adhere to moral principles. However, when the majority of people abandon moral principles, then democracies will also decay into either anarchy or tyranny.

As radical individualism continues to pervade our nation, the calls for greater government powers will increase, if for no other reason than to simply ensure personal safety.

It's customary to insert padding between mutually exclusive statements, as a pretense of respect for the reader's intelligence.
