John Locke would be proud - Betsy's Page:

The Shiites have shown a remarkable self control as they take over control of the government in Iraq. They're shown that they're willing to forgo revenge on the Sunnies who persecuted them for so long.

This is an amazing example of what John Locke argued in his Second Treatise about what man in a state of nature gives up when he joins a commonwealth and enters a society that agrees to give up some of their power to form a government.

Read the whole thing. And thank you, Betsy, for sending traffic my way.
