What is wrong with this equation? .. "foreign interference in the domestic capital justice system..."
How about this boiler plate, edited, version:
"foreign interference in the (U.S.) domestic [fill in the blank here] system.."
Good God, what would George Washington have to say? Our Founding Fathers (and their wives) would have none of this B.S. Our National Sovereignty, Independence and Constitution, and agents of the Aforementioned, are faithful and steady bulwarks "amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing" (Luther).
We live in dangerous times indeed and perhaps the stakes have never been higher. Hence, the aggressive shadowboxing, etc. ... Imagine if Kerry got in? (..sorry to scare anyone). God Bless GW!
No, this is not a game, and our National Sovereignty is also "not a game", it is our American Way of Life, as is our most excellent Constitution and the Amendments thereto and this is deadly serious business. I am starting to think that many in the U.S. honestly would feel "more at home" in Beijing or Moscow.....
I'm getting sick of all this Monkey Business. It never ends, does it?

I am always encouraged when a member of the Clinton administration criticizes the Bush administration. He must be doing the right thing!

Another nail in the multilateral coffin. Conservatives won the election at home, why would they hand back control to foreign leftists.

It actually sounds like a pretty good comic book, too.
Uncle Sam, John Bull, and Australian and Polish national heroes wouldn't be a bad idea...Tadeusz Kosciuszko and Banjo Patterson spring to mind. We could have an Italian hero sort of like Julian Basheer on DS9, one you're always expecting will run or stab the other heroes in the back (Machiavelli, perhaps?), and a few smaller heroes for the remaining allies, probably some that are always looking for money or help with minor things... 8)
