(The taste for analysis comes to nations only when they are growing old, and when they do turn to their thoughts to their cradle, the mists of time have closed round it, ignorance and pride have woven fables round it, and behind all that the truth is hidden.) Democracy in America by Alexis de Tocqueville.
The truth hurts, and usually it doesn't sound near as cool as fable. It does not matter what you impose on people if you do it by force. Until we can see through those mists and realize that our Forefathers did not just come up with ideas like NO permanent alliances out of thin air, but lived through the aftermath of those alliances. People will be booing Ron Paul for trying to put this Country on the right track!
