How can the open society survive unless those committed to its survival will preempt those miscreants who live in closed societies and are willing to resort to WMD for their ends?

Soros needs to be taken seriously, not because he is correct, but because he is one of the more important socialist fools that walk the earth.

He builds up a bunch of straw men to knock them down with his arguments.

Assuming for a minute that 9/11 was NOT a nefarious plot hatched by GW Sr. and the Illuminati/Skull&Bones, etc, then one is led to the inescapable conclusion that the US was ATTACKED by muslim terrorists, most likely supported by Iraq, on 9/11. Furthermore, it was BETRAYED by France and the socialist UN with article 1441 who promised one thing then and say something else now, and that it was BLACKMAILED by N.Korea during the socialist patsy/coward Klintoon's term.

Perhaps America is just setting things right to create a place, which is not "safe for democracy" in the global sense, is "safe for democracy" in the United States so that American children can grow up without worrying about a neurotic muslim fanatic setting off a dirty nuclear bomb or a jealous socialist revolutionary setting off a car bomb in order to create "paradise on earth" based on HIS view of paradise...

This guy is a hypocrite, back in the late 90's he was denouncing derivatives, meanwhile his firm was one of the biggest users of them.

Soros's apparent memory of the peaceful twin Shangri-La's of "Palestine" and Afghanistan before Bush is laughable. When, in all of modern history has there been peace in these troubled lands? Bush wasn't even born when the trouble began. The Middle East will have the best shot it's ever had at real peace, thanks to the guts of our President. A bumpy ride with the EU was inevitable from the beginning. How could it be otherwise?
