...remain calm. I meant that this question is posed in many forms to force an answer....like asking "would you agree to torture a child if it meant saving mankind"? What am I supposed to say?

...there is no simple answer to your question. Pick a place for me to go where the United States has not been mucking around for 50 years and I'll answer. Of course I would prefer to live in Iraq if Iraq had been allowed to develop on its own for all these years. In fact I live in Mexico and have been trying to leave the United States since 1975...it took me a long time to finally pull it off.

...I've never warmed up to this country. I do recognize that the Constitution is a marvelous attempt, but a true democracy depends on the educational level of the mob...and this mob is not impressive...Americans today would not have drafted the Constitution and if they could most Americans would get rid of it...as they have been trying to do.

Democracy has failed, sooner or later, throughout history...but then so had monarchy, tyranny and every other form of government people have tried....People have to prepare themselves for democracy and they have to continually work at it or else it fails.

I'm very happy to be living in Mexico. It isn't perfect there and I'm not looking for perfection...but Mexicans aren't wage wars around the world.
