of that right than those who lives in a nation without oil. Right? Did I get this correctly? What is the standard here for people to ask for freedom? I just want to make certain we're all on the same page.

Not quite clear from your post. You're referring to Bahrain?

5. Not advocating anything. |

Just looking for a bit of consistency when it comes to the principles we espouse. I'm tired of hearing about freedom this and freedom that and then seeing people measure a request for freedom against whether a nation has resources or not. Only difference between us and the corporate interests appears be that there is a tendency to discount the requests of a people asking for help because they have resources.

3. I'm not sure exactly what the poster is getting at, but I do wonder |
|
why we never seem to have the military might to help people in countries without oil with their "freedoms." There have been slaughters all over the world and we . . . and the rest of the world . . . have just watched.

4. All have a right to ask for freedom, but we shouldn't be imperialist enough for them to ask US. nt |
