Of Course, There Can Be Serious Injustices

When We Are Unwilling To Draw Clear Moral Lines Between Free Societies And Fear Societies, When We Are Unwilling To Call The Former Good And The Latter Evil, We Will Not Be Able To Advance The Cause Of Peace Because Peace Cannot Be Disconnected From Freedom.

Only Weeks After Oslo Began, When Nearly All The World And Most Of Israel Was Drunk With The Idea Of Peace, I Argued That A Palestinian Society Not Constrained By Democratic Norms Would Be A Fear Society That Would Pose A Grave Threat To Israel.

The Message Of The Free World To Any Potential Palestinian Leadership Should Be A Simple One: Embrace Democratic Reform And We Will Embrace You.

I Have No Doubt That Given A Real Choice, The Vast Majority Of Muslims And Arabs, Like Everyone Else Will Choose A Free Society Over A Fear Society.

It Is Important To Remember That Some Of The Most Serious Thinkers Once Thought That Democracy Was Not Compatible With The Cultures Of Germany, Italy, Japan, Latin America And Russia.
