Chris Wallace was walking down the street and a woman came up to them and looked right into the camera and said, "Tell American that we want what they gave Afghanistan."

I'm glad they want to get rid of their religious nutcases, but this doesn't mean the US needs to do this for them. Let them earn their own freedoms so they will value them. People who have it handed to them on a silver platter don't have the same respect for it as do those who fight for it.

Do you treasure your own freedom less because our allies have helped us to achieve it? Did the American Revolution provide us the opportunity to obtain our freedom without help from others? Perhaps it did provide the opportunity, but the truth is, the French, Spanish, and Dutch Republic all fought with us so that we could obtain independence from England.
