Jeez Louise, I thot we were discussing TRAINS around here, that this was one place at least that was a safe haven where we could talk about our HOBBIES, and have some relief and relaxation from all the partisan politics out there. Guess not. No country in history has amassed more power and abused it less, and has been more of a force for good in the world than the United States of America. If you don't believe that, then I hope your On-Star system will be able to give you directions to the nearest international airport, so you can go someplace else where you'll be obviously be a lot happier. In the past two-plus years, we've won two wars against countries that harbored Muslim fanatics, freed 50 million people from the clutches of sadistic and brutal regimes, captured Saddam Hussein, immobilized Osama bin Laden, destroyed al-Qaida's base, and begun to create the only functioning democracy in the Middle East other than Israel. Not bad for a bunch of "rude, self-centered, egotistical, bastards." Grow up. Appeasement in the interests of cultivating a "favorable" world opinion is what was one of the main root causes of the 9-11 tragedy in the first place. Yes, our government's current foreign policy has given great cause to be paranoid - if you live in places like Syria, Iran, North Korea, and Libya. In my book, having those guys wetting their pants is a good thing. Face it, not every foreign country is going to love us, no matter what we do - in fact most if not all of them are just plain jealous of us. (Some of them, like France, only care about us when we're saving their butts from extermination.) But we can make bloody well sure they respect us. And if they don't want to respect us, then they will learn to fear us. (see above) Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go send another check to Bush/Cheney '04. Proud of our troops, proud of my president, proud of my country, proud of the job he's done to protect it...and will continue to do for another four years.
