At least you're honest enough to admit that you're driven, at least in part, by religious zeal. So I guess you're not much of a believer in constitutional rights... nor the Declaration of Independence upon which the constitution is based. Because it expressly declares that mankind has natural rights. Which means that if you're willing to act to deny the rights of other people in countries far away, by supporting dictatorships and totalitarianist regimes (or at least tolerating them), then it's only a matter of time when you attempt to take rights away from people in the US. Because those inalienable rights are NOT JUST FOR AMERICANS, but an intrinsic value that provides the foundation for our very lives and the political institutions we create to govern us. And if you don't believe in them, then it's to be expected that you wouldn't be interested in fighting for them, either here, or anywhere else. But you're sure willing to ride on the coattails of those who did fight and die to preserve and expand them. Yeah.. for you, all "ISMS" have some merit.. Such a moral relativistic foundation upon which to rest your political views. At least until the day when you find yourself being dominated by one of those "ISMS" and have to suck up to some party hack in order that your family have food and a job. Should you oppose one of the "ISMS" in favor of another, you'd soon find yourself fighting your own kind of civil war. Now why is it that you think you have the right to use deadly force to "help" others to achieve what YOU believe they should have? Do you think dead children, innocents and obedient soldiers are simply means to an end? Apparently the practitioners of those other "ISMS" you seem so fond of believe they have the right. That should be good enough for you. Hawk
