sometimes, freedom
and America is a bit of double-standard. If we don't step in from time to time, people say, "Why isn't the U.S. helping?" And if we step in, they sometimes say, "The U.S. is a bully, trying to show it is the most powerful nation." I think there are a lot of things that go on behind the scenes that happen, that vary countries peoples opinions of us. For exapmle, in may middle-east countries, they are only shown American shows like Cops and Jerry Springer, thinking this will make midde-easterners hate us and think we are savages. There are a lot of exapmles of this going on all over the world, I just think America is really good at hiding it.

thing is the West
has taken away people's freedoms there
French and British in particular.
and then when those left, the U.S. allowed despots and tyrants because it served the U.S. interests.
now, Bush cries "freedom!". right.
no more hypocritical bastard has ever been found.

FLIGHTPATH
They way you let people find it themselves is to allow them to see the need for it and deal with the tyranny themselves. You have to see the fight itself as being the important aspects of freedom, not the laws and such. If we go in and fight for the people, then we are forcing that freedom on them and not allowing them to gain from fighting for it themselves.

Americans do not force freedom on anyone; they rescue people from tyranny
so that they can find it for themselves...in their own way.
Americans can and will fight for the freedom that Americans already have found.
