"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?"

It cannot. Soros is a wealthy statist fool. Better that there be "Pax Americana" than universal socialist (or Islamic) tyranny.

The world often denies you any ideal choices. I'm not at all happy with the way this country has diverged from what the Founders intended, but it's important to realize that things could always be worse. One likely way for them to get worse, is for good men to do nothing, simply because the ideal choices they insist on having aren't on offer.
