I've often wondered how we were so very fortunate to have had the caliber of men (and their women) that we did during the Revolutionary War and afterwards, drafting the Declaration of Independence and eventually having 13 Colonies sign it. That took several years. and remember, as Fareed said on Rose's show tonight, the European tradition ranges over a 2,000 year period including the Renaissance, the Reformation, and the Enlightenment. That's why the Eastern European countries installed solid liberal democracies so quickly after (only) 40 years of Communism. --fl
