Truer words....

"I just don't think we should go hellfire damnation around the globe freeing people, unless it is directly related to our own national security."
-- Gerald R. Ford


There was a time when I would have thought this a tad callous and xenophobic. Sadly, I think that time may have passed.

Isn't that the truth.

No, I think he is right. Part of freedom is making oyur own government. In my world freedom isn't democracy, it's anarchy where people are simply good enough not to need laws. Not going to happen. Around the world... especially in Iraq, well... we doing know their lives and why or how their goverment works. Or doens't work, and this slap-dash aproach to freedom is, horrific.
