Dean Esmay has launched the Liberty Alliance to support the voice of freedom in Iraq, and I'm proud to be part of it. We're all about getting awareness of the good work Spirit of America has been doing with our servicemen in Iraq, and want you to help out on this end. Freedom of expression is what makes this country not just great, but possible. Whether or not you supported the overthrow of a dictator, whether or not you agree that it is in the world's best interest to pursue and eliminate terrorists, by the law of this country you are free to express that opinion as loud and as long as you like. That's not just an accident of birth - it's because strong men and women worked hard to build a country where such freedom is possible.

Mother Teresa was said to have stated that we can do no great things, only small things with great love. We live in a singular state of isolated freedoms here in the U.S. and it's easy to think that everyone around the world has the same level of personal choice available to them. Unfortunately, that's not true. Please do what you can and donate, however small an amount, to support freedom of speech and the free flow of information in Iraq. We cannot let the tyrants and those who glory in bloodshed be the only voices the people of Iraq hear.

Never Again? Well, Hardly Ever...

By whose definition? Hat tip to Joe Katzman of Winds of Change for the link that led me to the comments. North Korea, Bosnia, Sudan... I'd rather not go on. But they put the lie to "never again" - we musn't forget that. Ever.
