America the Beautiful

In this article, D'Souza explains why he thinks America is the greatest nation on earth. This country affords people more freedom than various Islamic nations that do things like impose their own restrictions onto everyone when it comes to issues like what a woman can wear in public. D'Souza would support the fact that America sometimes goes to war to impose its own beliefs upon others because the current system is the best there is, and people should have the opportunity to experience it for themselves. Joe would take issue with this logic, he believes that a country like the United States cannot send its citizens to war without providing them with a tangible reason for it. Joe does not believe that one can fight for democracy as it is an abstract term that people define differantly. He believes that a person should be told exactly what they are getting themselves into before they go to war as he did - if he had had a more realistic picture of what he was getting himself into, his opinion about going to war would have been much differant. D'Souza would disagree with Joe on this point - D'Souza believes that American democracy is the ultimate cause to champion, whereas Joe does not believe it is an objective enough goal to ask people to give their lives for it.
