You said — I recognize your legitimate viewpoint, even if it is in the extreme minority here, you are entitled to it.

Well, thank you for that much... :-)

But, really — it’s time for the U.S. to start taking care of its own things at home and to leave the rest of the world alone — because all that happens is that we get *entangled* into their business and we get into “agreements” that bind us and change our Constitution in order to “comply” with these agreements and treaties and it ends up taking away our sovereignty in the process and nullifying our Constitution.

So, no... let’s “get out of the world” and their entanglements... and follow the George Washington route... :-)

The Ruskies now how to talk the terrorists language.

First the Russians blow up the offenders. Than they take car of every family members in every village they can find and if that doesn't stop all the lawlessness they repeat the same over as often as necessary.

"But, it is the other countries’ problems and not ours... it’s about time that they stop catering to the pirates and stop paying them money. Why should the U.S. “pay for” the problem that they’ve been “pandering to” for several years now?"

I most definitely agree with you, but I think that the chances of money not changing hands in these affairs is not likely to happen any time soon. It seems that for now the shipping companies consider it to be the most expeditious way of bringing about a non bloody denouement.
