When did America forget that it's America?

I have no doubt that given a real choice, the vast majority of Muslims and Arabs, like everyone else will choose a free society over a fear society.

Believe me, the drug of freedom is universally potent.

Of course, there can be serious injustices within free societies.

As soon as people become a little less fearful, they will also begin demanding more freedom.

Only weeks after Oslo began, when nearly all the world and most of Israel was drunk with the idea of peace, I argued that a Palestinian society not constrained by democratic norms would be a fear society that would pose a grave threat to Israel.
