During the Cold War, I often only half joked with my husband that we should drop copies of the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, the Federalist Papers, Milton Friedman's Free to Choose, and Any Rand's “ Atlas Shrugged” over the communist controlled countries. Do that and the people would soon free themselves.
I also joked that we could have won the Viet Nam War without losing one American life if we had parked a Navy aircraft carrier off the North Viet Nam coast and given any North Viet Nam officer and his family free passage to the United States with eventual citizenship.
Ideas are really the most powerful things in the universe. That the universe exists and that we have a place in it began as a glimmer of an idea in the mind of God.
By the way, please read my tag line.
