What makes the Europeans so special that after all of 50 years of rights, they feel
confident enough to deny these same right to others on the planet? Would the
protesters of American actions desire to live in Syria Iraq or Iran?
Do these people really believe the citizens of these other countries have no
right to speech and press and religion? Are they such cultural imperialists that
they believe that non-white people don't ache for freedom and prosperity?
Americans believe that within the cultures that cover the earth the same level of
freedom and prosperity can occur. It is the Europeans who are willing to
condemn people to repression. What sort of debased culture allows repression?
That condemnation is yet another example of the lingering belief within
Europe of the Divine Right of the State to subjugate its people mercilessly. How
easy it is for a European and Japanese, whose peace is dependent on the USA
and our military, to say to these other countries: people must suffer. And to then
deplore and detest the use of the American military to bring others the same
freedom and prosperity that they have now been enjoying for just 50 years.
And where are the protestations over the United States military basically
keeping the Greeks and Turks from warring with each other? Yet both those
countries find it so easy to criticize America.
It is a misguided cavalier attitude to the rights of all mankind and an arrogant,
though subtle, racism that says these people can't enjoy the fruits of liberty.
It is obnoxious to hear European governments, repressive just a generation
or two ago, to say that repression elsewhere is somehow "normal."
It is even more galling to hear that American calls for liberty are some how
imperialistic and bad for the world when they have been enjoying the fruits of our
efforts for the past 50 years. Does egalitaire, libertaire, and fraternataire stop at
the Cote D'Azur, but can not be allowed to cross into North Africa?
There is no decency in religious figures of any styles condoning or promoting
the repression of citizens in these pseudo theocracies which exist in the Middle
East. There is nothing that prevents the people in repressed countries from being
able to exercise liberty, except the wrong belief in the right of the state, controlled
by a few, to repress their own people. It is in fact, far more greedy and nasty and
arrogant to assume that Europe can be free but Africa, Asia and the Middle East
are somehow forever ensnared in repression.
To listen to European leftists and liberals, politicians of every party, you
would think that there is a finite amount of liberty to go around and since Europe
has it, too bad, therefore no one else can. The Europeans seem to think that the
states that are repressive have almost an obligation to keep their citizens
repressed and that no one else has an obligation to stop the repression.
