That's just a rehash of Blair's 'with rights comes responsibility' line - for everyone but him - he's just been giving his best one liners to Bush.  That couldn't have taken long!

When a nation is ruled by tyrranny and its citizens are powerless to choose their own destiny...it is the responsibility of civilized nations to set them free.

Many free-marketeers forget that corporations are government creations and although are treated as "legal persons", they have rights and powers beyond human beings, including limited liability for illegal and/or destructive actions.  Even libertarians and anarcho-capitalists want to limit or eliminate corporate charters.  Ultimately, it is our and our governments fault and responsibility.  I hope it's not too late.

The US is a strong, prosperous country. If the desire was there to take ove the world as other countries have throughout time, it could potentially be done. The thing is - the desire isn't there. The US runs on the principles of democracy, free enterprise, and freedoms. If the US took over the world, it would become either a totalitarian society or a dictatorship, two things we have looked down upon for decades. The United States is already one of the most prosperous countries in the world, one which believes in free enterprise [having a rich, poor, and middle class - much like a social hierarchy]. If the US was so determined to become the most wealthy country in society, it would go against its principles [which date back to the Declaration of Independence] of free enterprise. \n\nThe mear thought is silly, my dear. Silly.

i think that they should have responsibility of their own state first before they worry about the country. They are representing the state first before the country.

The communities that the early settlers organized would hardly be called "free".  They conducted in slavery, indentured servitude, witch burnings, genocide, and the settlers were often hungry, sick, and overworked.  A very bleak and pitiful life.  Very few wanted to come here (against popular belief).  This wasn't the "promised" land we imagine it was.  Just like Australia, America was seeded by the sick, criminal, poor, prostitutes, etc.\n\nThe only ones who found freedom were the Religious extremists kicked out of Europe.  And these were the guys burning witches!  The Pilgrims came so they could live a more restricted existence, not be free in the way we think free.\n\nThe reality is that America has never been as free as it has been in the last 50 some years.  Think: abortion, civil rights, medical cannabis, hardcore porn, 10,000 brands to chose from, and soon illegal immigrants will be free.  And before that prohibition.\n\nBut what is freedom?  It is something different for each person.  When Bush talks freedom I think he is talking about capitalism and consumerism.  But when Castro talks freedom he points at free health care, free education, freedom from poverty.\n\nMy sense of it is that when the Islamic World (for example), views our pornography, they can't believe what they are watching.  Among other things they must be total offended and think our society to be totally insane to allow these things.  We call it freedom, they call it depravity.\n\nThere are many things we are not free to do.  We can't use illegal drugs.  Can't drive too fast.  Got to pay your taxes.  Can't be late to work, or for that matter you must go to work.  Pay credit card bills.  Get up when the alarm goes off.  Walk the dog etc.  We are not a free society, but we call ourselves that.\n\nTrue freedom is abstract and hard to understand.  The quote I like is, "Freedom isn't free".

Brian, if you had been paying attention, you would have seen that they are free NOW. Free being defined as having officials and laws chosen openly by the majority of the population.
