beerhunter your last post made me think of Plato's "Allegory of the Cave" It is good reading (but very complex, I had to read each paragraph 3 times before I could understand it). It deals with ultimate truth and those who think they know the truth and the interations between them. I just finished reading it for English class.
now that I'm done with with my reading advice, Even if we have the duty, do we have the right to go and cause instabilities in governments to inject models of our own? Wouldn't those people find it hard that you are changing the basis of their lives? Wouldn't this influence their views of us? A liberating army could become a occupying army in the eye of the public. And in the long run I think that will only hurt us, Mainly by influencing the lives of this future generation to hate the US, which leads to more attacks against the USA.
PS What are the opinions of the word "terrorist." IMHO I think that it is the worst word ever, it shows how blind the american public is to outside views. Instead of calling a attacker a, lets say, Al Qaida supporter, they are immeadiatly labeled as a terrorist, grouping them together as just a group that hates the US.*Got to go eat, my continue later*
Nevertheless I think we'll all be alright if we just remember my sig.
