I did indeed wish Ray Fontaine more space in your newspaper
but I cannot say that I wish his beloved Quebec more " independent "
space in Canada ( " Butt out of Quebec's affairs,, Journal ! " )
Thinking of the fate of the former Soviet Union ,I am reminded
of one big truth of CIVILIZATION : Strength is in UNITY , in ORDER, in
the parts forming a harmonious whole.
If I were alive 2000 years ago, I would have been an unabashed
supporter of the Roman Empire. Rome had far more to offer the world
than an " independent " Carthage or an " independent " Gaul ". Today
the glory of the Empire is still all around us - eloquent and inspiring
even in its melancholy ruins.
Who cares today about post- Soviet Georgia ? Has it not achieved
" independent " oblivion ?
Today a Pax Americana would be preferable to world -wide CHAOS !
There can be no FREEDOM or JUSTICE where there is no great CIVILIZATION.
