Kerry stated that he would apply a global test to determine our ability to defend our country. My question is what is a global test? Are we to make sure that we don't step on the toes of some european country that would only exist today as a subjugated state of Germany or Japan if not for our involvement in world wars I & II?What global test did we have to pass before our citizens took up arms at concord to drive the British out and establish this country? Why is it that defending the right of our country and other free democratic nations to exist is wrong?The British played a song at the surrender of Cornwallis to Washington titled "the world turned upside down"I think that song would be relevent today.When a antiwar protester morphs into a 4 month war hero then morphs back into a rabid lying antiwar zealot gets elected to the senate stayes for 20 years and now is the presidential candiate--then truly the world has turned upside down.
Global test = UN permission slip.
Welcome to freerepublic. I hope you get some straight answers.
global test --- hoo boy --- thank you, Lord. This'll make for great commercials. With the punchline about does this pass the common sense test?
The Global Test-
Dear World Leader- America desires to protect itself from an impending threat. Please answer the following questions to determine if they will be allowed to do so.
All Questions are true or false:
1. America Sucks?
2. They Deserve What they Get?
3. Terrorists are Terrorists when they attack us, Freedom Fighters when they attack America?
4. A good bldy blow to America's economy would help Marxists and Socialits everywhere?
5. America is not secular enough. They need a few hundred years of forced Muslim Theocracy to show them the dangers of religion?
6. If America didn't exist, There would be more resources for my country with which I can buy another dozen palaces and a gold plated Rolls Royce?
7. Considering your answers to #1-6 above, Should America Be allowed to defend itself?
I'm pretty sure that it is part of the final exam my kids need to take for Geography class...
Wow, you are right. I mean it. Thank you for this post, it is right on target.
This was Kerry's biggest mistake in the debates...consistently insisting he would not seek a permission slip to go to war, but then stating that we need to pass the "global test" before going to war.
I don't know about the rest of you...but that sounds like a permission slip to me...

I'm glad you got nervous about the global test, do a search on that phrase and you will find that lots of people are right there with you. Global test is the next phrase that will haunt Kerry.
Just to be fair, I don't think it is a stretch to say that Kerry's global test for US foreign policy is matched by Bush's global test for US trade and immigration policy.
