I hope you're right about the President's speech today....but when you break it down & consider the ramifications of what he said, it looks like we may be quite busy regarding foreign policy over the next 4 years...& I'm not talking about just defending ourselves.
Marxism & other tyrranical governments are commonplace in Latin America & Africa (this was discussed during Condi's nomination hearing earlier this week). Does that mean that America should actively influence regime change there, even thru the use of force?
I'm listening to the President speak @ one of his Inaugural Balls even as I type this, & he reiterated to the audience that America has a DUTY to free the world from tyranny. HUH???????
I like the guy who said he's glad his father and brother aren't alive to see this. I mean, that's so unintentionally funny it cracks me up. Just like a lib to be glad his loved ones are dead.
Man that's funny.
"poor poor poor poor things...I suppose we should do something to help them through this difficult time."
They'll have to work this out on their own.
Yes, that struck me as twisted as well. After you read enough DU threads you begin to wonder how people can have such a fundamentally different view of the world from you. I wonder what color they see when they look at the sky.
