See, Massachusetts politicians aren't all bad...
Romney Denounces [Former Iranian President Mohammed] Khatami Visit To Harvard
Said Romney: "The U.S. State Department listed Khatami’s Iran as the number one state sponsor of terrorism. Within his own country, Khatami oversaw the torture and murder of dissidents who spoke out for freedom and democracy. For him to lecture Americans about tolerance and violence is propaganda, pure and simple."
It's Bizarro World is what it is. I'm sure this guy knows just the right tone to strike in talks like these to make the ivory-tower academic types just eat it up.
It seems to be common knowledge now that Romney is looking to run for President. If he can continue to not be wishy-washy about this stuff, I'll like him a lot.
Oh, and Scott, as for the name, sounds good. I mean, it's not one I'd choose, but that's not what you're asking (and Michelle has already ascertained that I pretty much don't like any names for my own eventual children).
As for who or what we would die for... I agree, dying for one's country is somewhat out of vogue these days. We've become so self-loathing that the attitude seems to be, "Who would die for this country?!?" We don't have allegiances to countries; that's so... 20th century. And even allegiances to our families are starting to dwindle. We pretty much look out for Number One first and foremost. I guess that counts as "the elevation of the individual".
