You are the one who stated not so tacitly that to be our allies you must share our moral values. Hence, quite obviously you believe that failure to share our "moral" code results in an inability or unworthiness to associate with us in an allegience sort of way, which befuddles me a little because I always thought that "allies" were formed rather militaristic goals not social ones. Apparently according to your logic posted here, failure to follow Christian doctrine is grounds for ostrication as one of allies.
I find it strange that you do not decry China whose deplorable practices include killing baby girls among other atrocities. Perhaps cheap American goods are worth the "moral cost"? Funny, but I have deep inclination that many "conservaties" relgion and Christian values go no deeper than their savings account.
You stated you have more in common with the average "Arab" which I assume means Muslim Fundamentalist. Maybe you mean something else, but for the life of me, having spent some time in the Middle East, I can't see too many similiarities between them and Americans unless you consider theocratic government. If you meant we have something else in common with the Arabs, just let me know what it is.
As for my daughter being unemployed and having to lose benefits for turning down a brothel job, again majority rules. Obviously their legislatures made the law as representatives of the people's will, so once again, I must pose the question "Do you only follow the rules that you LIKE?" I believe that philosphy would be akin to anarchy, not democracy. Remember, if I were a German (which I am not), I would have a choice. If my daughter did not want to work in a brothel or lose benefits she could
1) get another job
2) move somewhere else
