America is the leading force in the world, thank God. Imagine if you will for a moment, that America was weak and Saddam Hussein had at his disposal the world’s greatest military force. Even the America-hating “peace” activists would be running for cover!
Fear is not a dirty word. It is indeed the beginning of wisdom, the wisdom of knowing where the true power is. If you do not yet have the grace to love God, at least the knowledge of His power should cause you to fear Him. The same is true in the geo-political realm.

Very well stated. Very Machievellian. Very accurate.

Teddy Roosevelt said these things a hundred years ago, and we have had to re-learn them, unfortunately
