Since you are the chap who is anxious for socialized medicine to take root in the U.S., I think you have a lot more faith in government than I do.

I have never been keen on foreign intervention. However, it's a fact of life that every country in the world puts its own national interests first.

I think there are many things the U.S. government can do to support democratic movements around the world. We've done it before and should be doing it now.

Irish-Americans would have found a way to supply the IRA with cash no matter what. You aren't blaming the U.S. for conditions in Zimbabwe as well, are you?
