| That depends on how you would define "liberal". If you would translate liberal as being republican or conservative then you could safely say that I'm most definately not liberal.
The arguments you and I have about Iran are not on good versus evil. I just don't condone military intervention as a coercive measure. When it is clear that intervention is the only option, I am all for that. But as long as there is room for doubt, I am opposed. And I take a long time to be convinced and not without a reason.
During my education I had to do research on political violence, how government institutes can be used to oppress it's civilians. I learned that almost all governments lie and have double agenda's, including the US government. This latest thing with Libby make me even more reluctant. That's why I wager all the evidence and listen to all sides with equal attention. Immediatly saying "yes" to what your government says it the first step to losing your true freedom.
p.s. I have been voting socialist for the last 16 years, I'm not sure if that is enough for you to dismiss my speech as leftist radicalism? |
