Although the article might be a little whacky, the question is a sound one - what exactly DO we offer the world?

I don't particularly care about the customs of the Muslims, and their version of "womens' rights", is their version... and we need to quit bending under the never ending demands of our own feminists to go out and correct the rest of the world. I have not see Patricia Ireland or ANY of the feminazis get on ANY plane and go to ANY of the countries that don't abide by feminazi rules to form ERA groups, and protest against their oppresive males.

We should lead by EXAMPLE. In this day of worldwide communication, women in those oppressed countries will "get it" sooner or later, and demand their own rights.

For the US and our feminazis to demand those rights from other cultures is like yankees coming down to Georgia telling us how we should do things...Well, Delta's ready when you are applies in that circumstance.

Speaking of Georgia, one of our old Senators, Herman Talmadge, used to do a radio program, in which he often exclaimed, "We cannot be policemen and Santa Claus for the whole world...". No truer words were ever spoken.

And as for the "neocons" ruling the Earth, IMHO no one will ever "rule the earth"...they might rule what is "left" of the earth, but human nature will not allow any one person, nationality, or government to rule the earth...for long.

You got me laughing over the idea of those referred to as "neocons," in this thread, ruling the earth. The last 87 years produced two conspiratorial groups that gave that idea a good try, to be sure: The Communists and the Nazis. The former were both more intelligent and more patient than the neocons. The latter were equally impatient, but also far more intelligent than the neocons. Both the Communists and the Nazis failed because they did not really understand the profound complexity of the human experience--did not realize quite what they were biting off. They understood themselves and their strategies, but were totally unable to gauge the responses of peoples operating outside their ken.

The neocons would not have a good clue as to what I am even discussing. David Frum, the sophomorish Canadian expatriate by way of Yale, epitomizes what those fellow have to offer. Pat Buchanan absolutely annihilated Frum's intellectual pretensions in an earlier essay.

I am not attacking your response--not in the least. It is just that it struck me as really funny--the idea of the likes of Frum, Kristol or Fred Barnes, etc., trying to succeed where Lenin, Trotsky, Stalin & Hitler, failed. One cannot suggest that would be going from the sublime to the ridiculous, because the named failures were incredibly cruel tyrants. But you will get the idea. I really am not sure that Frum, Krisol or Barnes have enough between the ears to do so.

Thanks for the chuckle! I was starting to get angry over the mindless anti-Buchanan "trash talk," and you snapped me back into a sense of proportion.
