My dad gave me his highschool History book, and boy, what a past we have lost. The people who wrote that book (academians, for God's sake) knew that Western Civilization was the capstone of human development, that Christianity was the driving force in the world, and that America was God's chosen intrument to effect good in the world. None of the "if we do that, no one will like us!" malarky that pervades today. Right was right, wrong was wrong, and America was going ahead as it best thought.

England, IMHO, has lost a lot of that. Hey, I think that their class system was once a little severe, but at least at one time England believed in England as being better than the 'eathan. Amrerica has re-discovered a belief in itself. I hope we can fan this flame and make us a worldpower again. We believe in ourselves. We can't let libs and naysayers drag us down into relativism again!

They were a great empire, weren't they. They have lost their way and don't know what to do about it. I don't think it has occured to them to fight for it.

As far as the world not liking us...I could care less. But we'll probably have to spend American blood again getting them out of the pickel they are getting themselves into.

We have to ask, does England still have a set?

In their help on Iraq, I appreciate all the help we can get.

If it were not for France, germany, Russia and China making a killing off the oil-for-food scam, the war with Iraq maybe could have been avoided. But, they put money and Saddam over their friendship with us. That is something Americans will never forget.
