[Iwo Jima]

It is not for me to say if Americans should travel in the world or not. Travel if you want to, but don't expect me (which means the taxpayers) to pay for it, and that includes rescuing you from any harm that should befall you in a foreign land.

You are free to do lots of things that may or may not be wise or may unexpectedly turn sour, but then you should bear the responsibility for your actions.

This is traditional American thinking which you denigrate. That's what I mean by "we."

[Clara Lou]

This is traditional American thinking which you denigrate.
So, now you're speaking for Americans? And, by the way, I haven't denigrated anything. I said you had a closed mind, and the more you post, the more I know I'm right in thinking that.
