Diktatoren und Terroristen von Moskau über Damaskus bis Teheran richten ihre Waffen vor allem gegen die Idee der Freiheit, so Garry Kasparov. Es ist höchste Zeit, dass der Westen seine Werte gegenüber Gegnern jeglicher couleur verteidigt und die USA wieder mehr Reagan wagen: “Despite the painful lessons of history, the vocabulary of diplomacy is pleasant and comforting, especially to a war-weary America. Obama’s deals with Iran and Cuba are good examples of how diplomacy can triumph - as long as you are willing to concede everything to a brutal dictatorship. Every time the White House makes a new concession to Iran I check the State Department’s own website’s list of State Sponsors of Terror. And sure enough, Iran is still there! This is not diplomacy, this is capitulation... Nations that value democracy and individual liberty now control the greater part of the world’s resources as well as its military power. If we band together and refuse to coddle the rogue regimes and sponsors of terror, our authority will be irresistible. Our combined wealth can also fund new technologies to cure our fossil fuel addiction, which currently empowers a majority of the terrorists and dictators..... You cannot stand for democracy while standing next to Vladimir Putin. Der ganze Text wurde zwar schon im April veröffentlicht, ist aber nach wie vor aktuell und absolut lesenswert hier.
