to ensure that all humans have our common, human needs met and our common, human rights respected. When this is achieved, that will be...

the End of History. All else is maintenance. And obviously, liberal democracy as practiced by the United States is the best political form

for achieving this---we can tell bc it outlasted communism, which also sought to balance human needs and human rights. My point is...

Liberalism, because it posits common needs, also posits a common teleology for human beings:

majoritarian liberal democracy with strong legal protections for minorities, balancing rights-as-freedoms and rights-as-needs...

freedom-from and freedom-to. And that (implicit) liberal idea that "common humanity implies common teleology" is how we got the Iraq War...

because Iraqis are fundamentally the same as Americans, have the same human rights and human needs, obviously they have the same teleology

And if they can't achieve their teleology on their own, we, Big Brother America, will achieve it for them. Yay!
