You proceed from a false premise. America is not the world's police man, either figuratively or literally.

I understand that liberals like billeh blahthe (clinton, in case I took too much liberty to make that recognizable, but that bloated buffoon is the most lampoonable public figure in history so I hope you will forgive my indulging myself)... Anyhow... Yes, liberals seem unable to understand that freedom and prosperity are synonomous, always needing to pay in American blood and treasure for the peace and prosperity that so much of the world lacks as if penance were appropriate. The world does not need American blood and treasure, the world needs freedom, and no amount of sacrifice can make up for what people in foreign lands choose to suffer at the hands of their annointed despots.

We did look a lot like the world's police under liberal leadership, but that is over. If Americans are called upon to sacrifice blood and treasure, it is for our vital national interests.

Speaking of which, it is good to hear that our vast outlays of foreign aid (yes it is inconsistent, but free people are so generous of spirit we do try to mitigate suffering, yes it should be voluntary and not coerced through taxation, yes we need reform after a generation of liberal abuse) will now be witheld if the aid only serves to fatten the parasites that afflict foreign lands, that reform, if only incremental, was long overdue.

It does not follow that America is or must be a public servant to the rest of the world in order to root out and destroy terrorism.

I did not approve of clintons asinine abuse of our military, but his bloated political corpse is no longer relevant to anyone or anything.
