Sorry, if being the "world's policeman" means we don't have to retaliate for an act like 9/11 or Pearl Harbor, I'll take that every time.

Two oceans CANNOT protect us any more. Not when an ICBM can arrive and ruin the day of an entire city in less time than it takes Domino's to deliver a pizza.

Like it or not, if we don't deal with some situations now, that's what we face. Buchanan has his head in the sand.

Couldn't agree with you more on that. So why not put more of our money and military expertise into guarding our borders. Bush and Ashcroft are not making a valient effort to do this. If we're really aware of our vulnerability we have to close our borders to all but a few select immigrants.

How many nations around the world do we have troops stationed in? Do we really need to be in Germany and Korea, still? I'm just saying, we've overcommitted ourselves globally and that's part of the reason we're a terrorist target. As O'Reilly says, tell me where I'm wrong?
