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.
It is the old "if you could stop JFK from being shot, should you?" question. What if no 9-11? Would little nibbles at American Empire have gone on unrepaid? Would W have been another Ike? A kindly, fuddly fellow, memorable as Filmore? I have to think so. As it is, Bin Ladin was led astray by Bubba into thinking Americans never do anything about attacks, and he "woke the sleeping giant." It is so sad that America seems to be the only collosus that still has enough of the God of our Fathers left in it that we clearly see the right and the wrong of the coming storm. I used to think that America and Russia would be Gog and Magog. Now, it looks more and more like America and the children of Mohammed.
