Exactly right!
The expansion of 'democracy' into other national environments facilitates
international trade and associated fiscal invasion.
Democracy at home is a totally different scenario.
Just ask Wisconsin and others.
Are there still children in Gitmo?
How many people marched in London recently?
The driving forces behind the dispossession of the internet are not Saleh,
Assad and Ghaddafi.
The need for a freedom box isn't going to be so much in far away
environments.
When you look to the horizon, you miss seeing the snake at your feet.

Weaver.
