its aggressive foreign policy reflects greed on the part the U.S military industrial complex, it is ridiculous to think that liberalism=unrestricted greed.The fact that the US dropped said atomic bombs reflects their world view. Its aggressive foreign policy is not a 'failing' of liberalism, it's a reflection of liberalism and unrestricted greed. I would consider the following as fundamental rights, that the US does not generally permit: Gay marriage, legalisation of marijuana, gender/race not cause for inequal pay rates, the right to not be harassed by racist cops, not to mention the various civil liberties taken away by the Patriot Act. Freedom of speech is only for those who can pay for it, especially in the US. Personally, I would consider guaranteed free healthcare and education to be human rights in the 21st century. The US is freer than most countries, but it's hardly libertarian.
