You are trolling, right?<br />Only public disclosure of the many abuses of democracy, freedom, and human rights can have any effect on those who would arrogantly trample over those very rights.<br />To suggest otherwise means supporting a autocratic regime that paternalistically believes it knows better than those who "don't even understand the fundamentals of economics".<br />The real question is, why don't they understand? Is it because they have been mislead, deliberately lied to and kept in the dark by those same self-appointed guardians of democracy, and who are now annoyed at being exposed by Wikileaks?borborigmushttp://borborigmus.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11679714.post-67607648382693071192010-12-01T21:43:00.557-05:002010-12-01T21:43:00.557-05:00Stephen,

So apply that rule to this situation and the consequence you will surely see is that the kind of exposure that Wikileaks has caused will lead to levels of bureaucracy that will stifle the flow of opinions or diplomatic exchanges that could cause embarrassment, whether they are right or wrong.<br />it will shut down discourse not open it up.<br /><br />So to suggest the idealistic fiction of a world where everyone is open and honest with a public who for the most part don't even understand the fundamentals of economics let alone the real world motivations of leaders in other countries is naive to the point of being silly.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09448764454013421339noreply@blogger.com
