I fear that your level of emotionalism, if it maintains sway over American foreign policy (as it admittedly seems to), will blind America to certain realities, and we'll wash up on the rocks. "We will always make it work" is what many a statesman has thought in history about his own country, before his country took one gamble too many and caused its power to fritter away, a has-been.
We are the only "Cop on the Beat" and if we don't keep an eye out!!
Who will??
You say statesman and country and other fearful words, where are you from, originally?
