Freedom and Democracy

At a family reunion I recently attended, a cousin told me the spouse switched allegiance from one to the other major party and has become more radical since then. My cousin said the spouse once thought I was “out there” but now thinks I’m right.

So, let’s push this envelope.

If the peasant in Vietnam, or the shopkeeper in Baghdad, were killed by U.S. bombs in the name of Freedom & Democracy, then crusading on behalf of Freedom & Democracy is no better than the Crusades of Christianity or Islam.
