If what has been going on in the world outside the purview of "Fortress America" is supposed to be "peace", then it could stand a whole lot of disruption.

Peace is a consequence of conclusive victory and the resulting amity of reconciliation, not the absence of war acts. Peace may forever elude the human race, but the ideal of peace is not served by abject surrender to bullying tactics.

Thank you. Peace will never be served by the cut and run cowards. The neo-isolationists who think we can hide behind our borders, let the rest of the world go to hell Jim Bakker in a room with naked twelve-year-olds, and still duck in time to miss the blowback are morons.

Our failure to impose massive improvements in Latin America, particularly Mexico is the number one reason these people are turning up like human crabgrass in every poor neighborhood in Los Angeles.

Our gutless failure to confront Hardcore Islam during the 90's made 9/11 the single most enduring legacy of the so-called Clinton Administration.

Our pathetic desire to back out of trade agreements and impose a Berlin Wall of tariffs, to protect outmoded and backwards industries, will only cause the entire rest of the world to discriminate against America first when it comes to international trade.
