Americans will die for liberty

The author of this Telegraph opinion understands the heart of America. It is sometimes difficult to see through all the angst that some Americans feel they must apologize for, but it's there. And it will always be there - as long as America exists.:

"But when the Americans speak of freedom, we should not imagine, in our cynical and worldly-wise way, that they are merely using that word as a cloak for realpolitik. They are not above realpolitik, but they also mean what they say.

These formidable people think freedom is so valuable that it is worth dying for."
