Look, I’m not saying that liberty and freedom are not noble goals. But I do not believe it is America’s role to secure these freedoms for other nations at bayonet point.

If you believe we must fight for freedom and liberty for all the world’s people no matter what the cost, how do we decide which dictators to overthrow and which to leave in place? If liberty and freedom are the only things to consider, why have we not deposed all of the dozens of repressive regimes all across the globe?

I contend that you are making the perfect enemy of the good. It true that there are regimes the evil we do not overthrow but that does not mean we should not have given Saddam the boot. He was aggressive and controlled space ina critical part of the world.
