    A universal rule of nature is for life to seek freedom to survive and thrive.
    So in your world certain people are born to be slaves, not born with natural freedoms. You're quite the Aristotelian.

  2. People have the innate ability to choose their own government. Our own government was earned with blood of patriots, not via some nation building process of a foreign power...

    You have no argument son, none...

    Boy, you are dense....
    The problem is that people usually have no choice who govern’s them. This is the great American contribution to the world.
    This is why we push so hard for elections in our "nation building".

    And yet you never tire of trying to push your values and opinions on us.

    Maybe if we want we'll decide for our selves what is right and wrong.

    Or are you too dense to see and to arrogant to admit your hypocrisy?

  6. I make arguments...

    You are clearly too dim to understand the difference between making an argument and pushing values and opinions...

    Invading a country and forcibly removing the governing body, then setting up puppet governments, then having arranged elections is not making an argument...

    Self delusion, you mostly just argue. With almost anyone about almost anything. You think you have an answer for everything, but you don't. You arrogantly think you're smarter than everyone who disagrees with you, but you're not. It's not hard to see why your ex wife dumped you like a ton of bricks. No one likes to be with or around someone who thinks they're right about every disagreement all the time.

  8. Child, take a basic course in logical argumentation...

    While you are at it, see some professional for treatment of your insecurity complex...

  9. Soviets tried to impose a central government, just as we did. I never recommended following their model. I said arm tribal leaders and war lords and let them sort it out. Totally different approach.

  10. Your "brilliant" idea is to let the thugs battle it out, and let the best thug win?

    Already done...how the hell do you think the Taliban got in power in the first place...

    Geez...
