Yet the US has propped up and befriend one anti-freedom regime
after another. We win not by waging war but showing a much
better alternative and strengthening the forces within non-free
societies that understand that alternative. That is not what we
are doing. How exactly do you spread freedom by force of arms?
"You will be free or you will die."??? There is also the
inconvenient fact of democratically elected regimes we have
brought down because they weren't convenient to US. Fear and
force are really stupid substitutes for diplomacy and reason.
Please open your mind to the fact that we do not represent the
forces of Freedom and Light here.

Then you should not tolerate the current US administration.
They are a far largely threat to that vision that a country on
the the other side of the globe that has been pounded and
strnagled for over a decade.

The seeming lack of perspective on the world beyond your own
interests will do more to kill extropy than all the unrest in
the Middle East combined. The yelling one-sided attitude is
deadly. Please stop.
