Who Commissioned Us to Remake the World?
by Patrick J. Buchanan
*** begin quote ***
We believe in freedom of speech and the press.
Yet, in France, if you deny the Turks committed genocide against the Armenians in 1915, you are guilty of a crime, while in Turkey if you affirm that the Turks committed genocide, you have committed a crime. Should U.S. diplomats battle for repeal of both laws? Or mind our own business?
If America wishes to lead the world, let us do it by example, as we once did, not by hectoring every nation on earth to adopt the American way, which as of now, does not seem to be working all that well for Americans.
McFaul should stick to his diplomatic duties.
Jefferson had it right, “We wish not to meddle with the internal affairs of any country.”
*** end quote ***
Seems pretty simple?
As Ron Paul said in the debates that “we” do to others what “we” wouldn’t like done to us.
No humility in our dealings with other countries.
When “we” get all our problems fixed here, “we” should still refrain from commenting on policies in other countries.
If they want to handicap themselves, that’s their business.
Argh!
