Today, it is difficult to hear about or read about, what is noble for Americans, our government, whatever institution we could cite, is doing something noble for people, the state, the nation or the world. Why? Because there is so much pessimism, cynicism from people about almost anything that years ago would have been thought of or written about as noble. It was noble to defeat Totalitarianism in WWII and I believe in the Cold War. But, today, many people do not want to face facts about the evil and worldwide horror of Islamofascism. More people in the USA think that Global Warming is more important. That is nonsense , of course. But, people are becoming more isolationinst in staying around their own homes instead of acting by fighting evil around them or even in their nation or moreover, in a foreign nation. Would drilling for water in Mali be a noble thing if a Christian organization does it with church offerings. Or would that be interfering in a nation's culture because Mali if filled with Muslims?? Is the UN a noble organization? No, I do not think it is. But, I do think America helping the world in other incidents via our own personal or church or charitible organizations in the USA is a noble thing. We do not need Government or a political party to decide those compassionate noble efforts. BTW, it is also noble to defend a hopeless, attacked people from murdering dictators. We are doing it now in Iraq and we are being blasted for it. Yet, itis noble. As was Korea, even Viet Nam and even Somalia. Now Americans do not like to suffer much nowadays. That is OK but suffering to actually win a righteous cause is worth it. WWII was worth it. A generational war against Islamofascism will be worth it if we maintain our courage. If we fail, noble efforts will have been wasted because future children will be taught in madrasses!
