Do You Believe In Universal Human Rights?

Do you believe all humans are entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness (or freedom)?

Or do you believe that only Americans are entitled to such things?

Do all humans deserve a set of basic human rights?

When you hear talk that we are spreading "freedom" around the world, do you believe that this freedom includes basic human rights, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?

Should we be the champions of this on the world stage?

Thoughts?

The Declaration of Independence also contains "hints" of such a belief:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
