You said......" Not bad, not bad! Let me add one: 6. Encourage all citizens, in all countries, to be active participants in their government so issues do not get too far out of the power of the people.".... Hold It! Hold It! This is a trick right. You actually agree with something I have posted?? I know its a trick. And what's even as bad is that I have to agree with your statement about that citizens be involved with their Gov.s. But how does a citizen of Afghanistan get involved with the Gov. In place there is a very brutal dictatorship who treat women and girls like cattle and any man stupid enough to argue with them could find himself hanging around street lamps for a while. Are you sort of suggesting that the USA is correct in going in there and cleaning out the scum so that these people may have a chance to become involved in their own Gov. and isn't that interferring in their internal matters?? Are you suggesting something sort of like DEMOCRACY. ?? I still say this is some sort of trick and it just is not right that you should agree with anything I say so cut it out :-)
