There is no room for negotiation, either in their beliefs or with other political ideologies, and anyone who goes against their beliefs is harshly criticized, at times patronized, often vilified, sometimes slandered, and the what not."<BR/><BR/>Sounds a lot like the people I see everyday here in San Francisco.

I have a frim belief that our system of government and our society is superior to others. I also believe that other nations would flourish under that system. <BR/><BR/>However, I also recognize that some governments and societies are far from ready to take that leap. Iraq, we have discovered, was not so advanced as we had thought. Japan and Germany "converted" after a military struggle, however, the material starting point was much more robust than with Iraq.Citizen Deuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18425085335850663316noreply@blogger.com
