New Re: Do you understand what you are saying?
WE hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness -- That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. -TJ

Could it happen? Who knows. But it's sure worth a try.

New That was a 'Strike' - powerful point !!!
I read John U as being sincere but falling for the mistake of believing Bush & admin are genuine re spreading democracy.

John, you are on the right track but what Bush & admin are achieving is ensuring a happy world for US, not really a happy world for others.

Ask yourself what happens to people who feel they are second class and powerless. Why (for example) would Arabs feel happy if they see *their* world controlled and influenced by an alien culture that many of them do not like. It may be hard to grasp just how much other peoples of the world look down on the 'Rock-Coke-Burger' Gen-X indulgence. Where did Ossama Bin Laden really come from - was he simply a born murderer who loves killing Americans or is he symptomatic of a people who resent having their destiny controlled by a power they don't like and don't respect. OBL is just the begining of US's worst nightmare in terms of hostile suicide jihadists.
