What Benghazi reveals about our nation

What Benghazi reveals about our nation ... - Daily Inter Lake: Frank:
 "The words of Thomas Jefferson stand as a warning to us all:
“...whenever the people are well-informed, they can be trusted with their own government; that, whenever things get so far wrong as to attract their notice, they may be relied on to set them right.”
The opposite goes without saying as well.
 When the people are not well-informed, they cannot be relied upon to notice when things go wrong, nor can they set them right, nor —ultimately — can they be trusted with their own government.
Let us hope we have not reached that point. 
Otherwise, like Rome and Julius Caesar, we may ultimately meet a tragic end."
