I got my rights

Some are defending Hezbollah's right to fight against Israel. As they say in law, anyone can sue anyone for anything. It is the winning that is the hard part. Conflict without a reasonable chance of victory is wasteful.

The world is small. A nuclear missle launched from any point on the globe can reach any other point in a matter of minutes. With that in mind, any war has the potential to go global. We also are living in a flattening world, where civilization becomes melded into a single unit.

Going forward, whether you are liberal or conservative, what do you want your civilization to run more like: US or Sharia law? A legal system that is open to innovation, secular and ethical viewpoints or one that is based upon strict interpretation of law from a single religious perspective. If you are young, you might rail against conservatives for championing a fundamentalist Christian/Catholic approach to law: anti-abortion; anti-gay. But consider this: how much more restrictive would be Sharia law?

So, it all depends upon what future you want to live in: a single religious based world or a multicultural, ethical, humanistic world. You will not have a choice: there will be in the future only one civilization, from aborigine Australia to sophisticated Paris to the economic centers of New York...one civilization...one world view of the future of humanity. Being anti-democracy is by definition being pro-Sharia, as the future will have no middle ground. Fundamentalist Christians exist within a democracy while Sharia law exists within a religious state.
