Well tell him we're forming a club, and he can get in if he is able to overcome the false premises they've sucked him into No people on this earth is safe, when 'might is right' is the ruling principle of the few men in control of the eight millions pounds gorilla ..... there are a number of consequences to Oderint Dum Metuant, and none of them leads to human advancement toward democracy ...... it just gets you feared and hated, generates vigour in the opposition against your power

Nothing wrong with Peters, he is another voice, another opinion. On another subject "Might IS Right"...when wielded by the just, the rational, the sane....it is only bad when in the hands of the monsters, the Husseins, the Hitlers, the Stalins, the Pol Pots........ The Might is what keeps the Monsters at bay.... The fact that a few men control the Might is a misnomer, in the case of the US vs Iraq, Afghanistan, Terror in general, the US Congress and Senate willingly and with full approval by majority vote gave the full force and might of the US Military machine to those responsible for Wielding it, the Pentagon and the Secretary of Defense..... Because of the wielding of this mighty sword more people on the Planet are safer today than sorry.... Human advancement towards Democracy is a work "In Progress", it does not happen overnight, it took Europe more than 2000 years, you have to crawl before you can walk. Iraq is destined to be a working model of ME Democracy.... Being Feared and Hated by the enemy of the Free World is the price we pay for Wielding our Sword with Pure and Swift justice. We are also Feared and Hated by the Uninformed, the Brainwashed, and the Purist Pacifist's of the World, it comes with the Responsibility and the Accountability of the Defenders of the "Right and Just" of the World. "Vigor in the opposition" is generally infused with a little 9mm or AK 47 in the back....... You can also pretty much rest assured Mike, that the people doing the most complaining about those that protect our freedoms and those of the oppressed are the same people that are free to speak because of the efforts of the Sword Wielders... regards and keep it real.....
