The Left and the 'save-the-world' folks are famous for their use of it. The problem is that apparently it is only Americans who are suppose to pay the price.<br /><br />If a people want to be freed from the oppressive handling of their governments or their theocratic leadership, they would do well to take a page from our history and pay the price that our founding fathers paid 234 years ago.<br /><br />The problem lies in the dirty truth that the ones crying for us to pay the price have absolutely no interest or intent in carrying that burden with their own blood or that of their children. They are, however, overjoyed at the prospect of someone else placing themselves or their children in their hands to be used as cattle to carry out their vision for the world.<br /><br />As far as I'm concerned; the Afghans and the rest of the Islamic and Third world are responsible for their own plight. Until they are willing to personally sacrifice for what they want; they don't deserve it and they certainly have no right to expect our children to pay that price for them. <br /><br />There is nothing honorable about helping those too cowardly to help themselves. There is nothing right about demanding others to pay a price for something you would not pay the same price for yourself. <br /><br />One of the Leadership Principles is; 'Never ask a man to do something you would not, or could not do yourself'.<br /><br />SF<br /><br />jbusmcwarriorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03519796561220860871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5392104273993030430.post-39830512607397326102010-07-14T18:29:18.564-04:002010-07-14T18:29:18.564-04:00How do you save a nation from enslavement when the...How do you save a nation from enslavement when the inhabitants refuse to fight for their own freedom?tjuanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16488390561795343341noreply@blogger.com
