What is this Blog About?

This is a blog that deals with the USA War On Terror and our efforts to protect American lives, liberty and freedoms and our efforts to share these ideals with other peoples in the world.

Personally, I believe that Liberty is so valuable, so precious a commodity that it cannot be simply "given" to someone and that they must as a people rise up and take it for themselves.

All of the successful serious democratic reforms and individual freedoms have been because men & women of passion have taken up a cause and fought for it themselves.

A few examples -

• The Magna Carte


• The French Revolution


• The American Revolution


• The Right of Non-Land Owners to Vote


• Universal Suffrage for Women


• Civil Rights for All Races in America

I think that many of our problems involving our efforts to spread democratic reform are valiant and noble, but the people first must believe in the rightousness of freedom and liberty and be ready to seize it for themselves.

They themselves must see the true value and calculate the cost of seizing it. If we simply "give" it to them - how will they know the true "value" of liberty?
