Hidden away within the rocks of these deserts are a people known as the Fremen, who have long held a prophecy, that a man would come, a messiah, who would lead them to true freedom. The planet is Arrakis, also known as Dune.\n2010,  Bush, George W.,  Decision Points\u200e, \u2192ISBN, \u2192OCLC, \u2192OL, page 23:China's experience reminded me of the French and Russian revolutions. The pattern was the same: People seized control by promising to promote certain ideals. Once they had consolidated power, they abused it, casting aside their beliefs and brutalizing their fellow citizens. It was as if mankind had a sickness that it kept inflicting on itself. The sobering thought deepened my conviction that freedom\u2014 economic, political, and religious \u2014 is the only fair and productive way of governing a society.\n2013 June 7,  Gary Younge,  \u201cHypocrisy lies at heart of Manning prosecution\u201d, in  The Guardian Weekly, volume 188, number 26, page 18:The dispatches  also exposed the blatant discrepancy between the west's professed values and actual foreign policies. Having lectured the Arab world about democracy for years, its collusion in suppressing freedom was undeniable as protesters were met by weaponry and tear gas made in the west, employed by a military trained by westerners.\nFreedom of speech is a basic democratic value.\nPeople in our city enjoy many freedoms.\nEvery child has a right to freedom from fear and freedom from want."
