	The third reason, of course, is the most persuasive to those who
	have an intuitive grasp of "freedom".  Freedom in the sense that
	many of those under the domination of the Central Committee of
	the Communist Party hanker for.


No, the communists are not nice people.  Now, I have a question for you.

How do you feel about the fact that the United States gives money, arms,
and other aid to governments that don't give their people anything you
or I would recognize as "freedom"?  Shouldn't anyone with an intuitive
grasp of "freedom" be shocked, offended, and disgusted?  Shouldn't they
speak out against such horrible hypocrisy?

Our government is founded on very high, very noble principles.  If we
don't live up to them, what are those principles worth?
