Not all speech is protected.

To respond to Mabus:
We want people to start governments modeling ours so as to keep the peace easier. It's a lot easier to deal with democracies as opposed to tryannies where the people have no say in what goes on. Governments that depend on one person are very unpredictable, therefore we are simply trying to make the world a more stable place.

We do not want to give people that are engaged in war with the citizens of our nation to have the same rights as those citizens. That would make zero sense.
I always thought that freedom of speech and the right to have a fair trial are the cornerstones of a democratic society. How can americans teach Iraqis democracy by using the measures of tyrants? To my mind, the people who defend denying fair trials and freedom of speech to certain other people but claim to love democracy themselves betray their own ideals.
