“We should be active leaders in the fight for civil liberties which adequately reflect present social realities. Furthermore the left as a movement must appropriate the green agenda.

“A surprise to others, but not to me, since I've watched this closely for eight years now, is how George W. Bush has internalized the founders' belief that all human beings are endowed by their Creator with a certain inherent yearning for freedom. In turn, Bush has applied this to his vision for the Middle East, believing that a democratic transformation in that region is possible, given that inherent desire for liberty within all hearts, including the hearts of Arab Muslims. People disagree with that, which is fine, but that's the Bush vision.” PeopleYearsBelieveHumansHeartDesireCertainTurnsBeliefGivenHuman BeingsLibertyVisionMiddleFineTransformationDemocraticSurpriseIncludingCreatorEightEastRegionsDisagreeYearningMiddle EastInherentFounders Author:Paul Kengor
