You know, in the long run, we might have been better off acting like a very large and smart Switzerland than having to be “the leader of the free world”.
At this point, protected by two oceans and two peaceful (well Canada at least), neighbors...we could have moved back to work on ourselves after WWII instead of having to be so involved overseas. I would much rather have had us run as a business in terms of balance sheet and as the founders’ dream of a free and self reliant republic in terms of ideology.
Tonight, I fear for our nation.
Wasn’t that the original point of the US?
