I'm glad you wrote "so-called" because that's not their agenda at all. That's just the sugar-coating they sold to their ignorant public. (Americans do love their junk food.) But you're right. Logic without heart is no good either. Star trek exemplifies this, of course. It was always Kirk's middle way which won the day. Spock was too logical. Bones was too emotional. Speaking of Star Trek, isn't it curious that in the 60s, we had Mr. Spock trying to erase everything human (and therefore flawed) from his makeup. And then in the 80s, we had Data trying to become human.

Ursula, too tired already at eight in the morning to tackle your line about freedom coming through democracy...

It seems to me that the last thing one would want is a logical response.
After all, isn't the so-called Neocon agenda a thoroughly rational
approach to politics? Everyone wants freedom, freedom comes through
democracy, ergo everyone wants democracy, so lets give them democracy
and they will love us.
