Freedom on the March III: Is Freedom Still on the March?

Here and here I discussed the meme that "Freedom is on the march."

No one has pushed the "freedom is on the march" line more aggressively than David Brooks. But I just heard him, on the NewsHour, say that "Iran is on the march," and that "Iran and Syria are on the march." Oops. If Iran and Syria are marching, then is Freedom, that nebulous concept, still marching, too? (Because we know that Iran and Syria hate Freedom, or, at least "our freedom.")

If Freedom has stopped marching, is it in retreat? In Russia? In the United States?

Oh, Freedom, where art thou?
