Real Freedom - True or Fiction?

Mikey asked:


For any North Americans out there, do you feel that we have forgotten how to fight for freedom or political change in our own countries?
Is it possible that living in relative peace and luxury for so long has made us complacent? Any solutions?

“I do not agree with what you say, but I will fight to the death your right to say it.” - Voltaire

“Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two makes four. If that is granted, all else follows.” - George Orwell

Can you tell me what you think of these quotes, or will you have this question deleted within 7 minutes as well?

I think the socialist liberal elitests want more bloodshed, but Bush is right — the sooner there is peace, the sooner we leave Iraq. So do liberals ever want us to leave Iraq, or is it a political maneuver to gain control of Congress, the White House?

The worse things are the happier are liberals, fact.

is it democratic that one country can object when all countries except one accept the decison ?!

why there are five countries only in the international security council ?

why there is something called Veto ? is Veto a kind of freedom and democracy ?!

Jack the knife asked:


According to the US government, the best way to do this, apparently, is to bomb countries from 25,000ft, capture people off the street from around the world (from Africa, not just Iraq/Afghanistan) , lock them up in Guantanemo without trial or representation becuse they are ‘obviously guilty’ and don’t need to be tried, and finally, torture people and destroy the tapes afterwards. Also why do they only pick on countries that don’t stand a chance against them?

Please don’t conclude that I have bias for or against violence to achieve desired outcome. It is a question to encorage thought and debate.
That would be to encourage thought and debate.
