Time for another revolution
Thomas J"effers"on. Even his name is an insult to tyrants.
According to the Declaration of Independence, our own founding document, Iraqis (and people in many other countries around the world) have every right to declare independence from the United States, and overthrow the puppet governments that we have installed.
Let's see if you put together the pieces in the same way:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed"
"whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government,"
"when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."
"He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices"
"He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance"
"He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures."
"He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power."
"For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:"
"For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:"
"For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:"
"For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury:"
"For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:"
"For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people."
"He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation."
"He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us,"
"A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people."
You want to spread freedom? Just drop a copy of the Declaration of Independence. Not bombs.
As Jefferson biographer Dumas Malone put it:
"Jefferson's words should make tyranny tremble in any age. They have alarmed conservatives' minds in his own land in every generation, and some compatriots of his have regretted that the new Republic was dedicated to such radical doctrines at its birth."
