Who appointed us to spread Democracy and Freedom?
That decision must come from those who seek it: It cannot be imported on the tips of DU-laden American bullets!

4. We would have done well to make the litmus test for our Candidates.

9. I was arguing with a freeper type who was making that argument
about how "they want to kill you or force you to convert at the point of a knife."

So we want them to become "democracies" (we still have requirements about who they elect) by bombing them.

What's the difference, really?
