Political Organization-Sierra Armstrong

Sacred Values have a way of creating barriers that get in the way of solving political conflicts. Many countries have their own sacred values. America as a whole values freedom more than the Muslim countires as a whole, but I think as a whole Muslim countries value their religion far more than Americans value the religion they believe in. However we think or whatever we value, we think others should think it and value it too.
Our government has become very partisan especially in the war on terrorism. We have paid so much attention on how the Muslim people do not have freedom and are being suppressed. But what if freedom is not as sacred to them as we think it is. We believe that everyone should be free. But that is America. We are pushing our values on to them. Do you want another group of people invading your home for something that you don't care that much about. And that is what we have done, we have invaded a country and pushed what we value on to them. They are a different culture altogether and value different things.
A trade-off in this case is American soldiers being sent off to countries fighting people who care nothing about freedom. We are fighting for something that they don't value, even though we do. Another trade-off is all that money being wasted on countries who don't value it. Americans believe that freedom is the right and just thing and want others to able to enjoy it. But why use that money on it when they do not value it.
