It's going away. America's experiment with communism [or was it national socialism???] is ending. As Condi said, "freedom" does not need to be imposed on people, because people spontaneously *want* freedom (freedom from pensions, etc., I presume she was talking about, although she didn't spell out this detail...) -- although, as she also said, the United States does help people in oppressed nations who are trying to win their freedom. \brad mccormick -- Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works....
