I think you need to look at a globe.

I do. All the time. We are what percentage of the world's population? We have what percent of its wealth? We control what percent of its land mass?

Do we run the whole place or do we need to accord ourselves in a manner that convinces others that we are sober, rational and just in order to win the cooperation of others, if not there esteem?

Even Bush finally stated his regrets for talking and acting like a cowboy. Reckless behavior has enormous consequences for our diplomatic standing in the world. Most of the world does not harbor terrorists, and we need to get along with most of them.

Screaming about shooting and locking up and throwing away keys on the grounds that we have accused folks of being islamofascists and without a fair trial of any sort scares lots of people. It does lots of damage.

Bush apologised for it.

You are so far out in loony lefty land that there is no hope for you.
You know the saying about arguing with a fool. The only thing to do is stop before you both look the same.
