What is true of Mr. Mill's influence on the women's-suffrage question is true also of the other political movements in which he took an active interest.

No one will remember that President Obama supported the Arab Spring if it eventually fails and the region collapses back into the political Dark Ages. If we actively engage these movements with advice, with money, and, when necessary, with military f...
