"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
-- John Stewart Mills
But from the absolute will of an entire people there is no appeal, no redemption, no refuge but treason.

Re: should foriegners be allowed to vote????
There was actually a bit of vague grumbling about this in the backroom during the election. Some hinted that because the US is so active around the world the presidential decision affected everyone.
Of course no one would come out directly and say that people should be allowed to vote in countries where they do not hold citizenship. Theres no amount of spin that could make that position tenable.
Re: should foriegners be allowed to vote????
Doesn't the title of this thread answer itself?
should foriegners(sic) be allowed to vote????
The answer is obviously - Yes, in their own country. Admittedly I'm not a regular poster in the Backroom, but I can't say I've ever seen anyone say that non-US citizens should be allowed to vote in a US election.
