Levote: I implore you to calm down. Think; the founding document of the United States is the Declaration of Independence. The theme is the equality of mankind; albeit put in the document expressly written to King George III. “We hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal….” It does not say nor was it intended to to imply only those born fortunately in the United States, or rich or any other specific, it stated All Men. When we entered into wars against foreign powers it was for all men. Iraqi, Iranian Hungarian, Polish, French, Vietnamese, et al.
We have not always succeeded or given our best (politically) but the underlying promise made in 1`776 is and should be within the heart of every American.
You should know that in order to overcome opposition to freedom it takes firstly an extreme effort to win the majority of whatever board you are trying to win over. That board may be city or town council, the Congress, or the President’s Cabinet.
Do not begrudge others for having been under the thumb of dictators and not understanding how we have the freedom to condemn our own government for not being perfect, then turning that imperfect into rage at their attempts to win what you distain.
We fight in order to bring forth a “more perfect union” not a perfect union. We fight to help others; Saddam was a very dangerous man. He was a tyrant that destroyed his own country. When we found the sad state of affairs in Iraq we set out to correct a great injustice. Do not stab Iraqis in the back as we did the Hungarians, North Koreans, Vietnamese and Iranians. We rid them of the Shah to bring in the horror.
