Comments on: U.S. Democracy Promotion Efforts Face New Resistance http://www.fas.org/blog/secrecy/2007/02/us_democracy_promotion_efforts.html Secrecy News from the FAS Project on Government Secrecy Sat, 28 Nov 2009 00:31:30 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: Robin Adair http://www.fas.org/blog/secrecy/2007/02/us_democracy_promotion_efforts.html/comment-page-1#comment-712 Robin Adair Tue, 24 Jul 2007 16:11:45 +0000 http://fasweb.beacontec.com/blog/secrecy/2007/02/us_democracy_promotion_efforts_face_new_resistance.html#comment-712 Hello.I am the Robin Adair who ran for U S Senate in Washington State as the Independent. I am not the Robin Adair who posted a comment on February 2, 2007. There are many Robin Adairs -- Robert Burns wrote a poem and a song was written in 1734... I am uncomfortable with our gov't in Wa. DC : both parties. What America represented to people in other nations is tarnished. I have found the American people, however, gathering strength to speak out...that will show the world more about democracy than anything else. I was trying to explain this to a friend from the Repub/Georgia and he said " "The People" ?? Do you mean the Peasants ?". I said, "Irakalie, sit down. I have to tell you something about Americans!" No comment has centered me faster than that one! Robin Adair, US Senate candidate, Independent. 2006, Washington State.

However I couldn't resist on this issue which tends to typify an inability on the Government's part at least to evade introspection. For instance the reason that other countries are tending to curtail "NGOs" may have nothing to do with their aversion to "democracy", but due to the by now well known fact that many of these so called "NGOs" are hot beds of covert action against the States they are ostensibly assisting.
