Re:

"...Anyone else should look to the country of their citizenship for whatever freedom they want. We're not their baby sitters."

SOUNDS LIKE NO MORE 'NATION BUILDING'!

"In Iraq, we have been trying to give them the chance for a democracy, and the tribal conflicts, are screwing that up, but we are there, and need to stay there until it's over."

OOOPS! Guess not!

"There cannot be any universal concept unless all of the parties, nations in this case, agree to the rules. That is not happening, so your comment has no basis in truth, or possibility."

All I said was 'freedom is a universal concept', and 'humans are humans'. I'll stand by the TRUTH of both of those statements... don't know what you are disagreeing with.

"Yes, humans are humans, but all humans are not alike. Not in culture, religion, customs, etc. We are on a world of differences between the peoples of the population of this rock. Far from it."

All I said was that 'the world is more alike today then it was in the days of our founding.' I'll stand by the obvious truth of that as well.

"To hell with the world being more alike. That sounds like you want a one world government,"

Nope, sorry, not so.

Can you imagine if Europeans came and oversaw Native American's transition from a disparate group of feudal tribes to a democracy, and then left?
