US should cunningly help military with a coup

I believe Turkey has an eye on Tehran,

I am one of those ignorant, benighted souls who actually believes the NeoCon rhetoric about peace flowing most reliably from a democratic and free-market foundation. Only representative government and freedom of economic opportunity provide adequate incentives for peaceful coexistence.

We have seen this plainly in the “peace dividend” following Russia’s last collapse. Just as the forward progress of English Common Law and Parliament was marked by much turmoil, so too such progress must be marked by greater turmoil on a greater stage.

This non-Hegelian dialectic is the central theme of history because the human heart craves the dignity of Liberty above all else. Precious, precious, precious… Liberty.

Unlike the Marxists, we can’t claim victory is inevitable, merely possible.
