If we were really the biggest bully in the world, George Bush would be President of The United States of The World. There has not been a nation in human history which has held as much power and yet has been as considerate of the sovereignty of other nations.
Considering the stark contrast between our nation and our way of life and most of the other nations of the world, it is amazing that the number of conflicts we have become involved in have been so few.
Most would concede that in hindsight we have not always made the right decisions, but in light of the fact that our system provides us with leadership that is always changing between parties with vastly differing political viewpoints, I think we have done remarkably well and tempered our power with thoughtful and disciplined restraint.
Most of the world we must deal with has never even tasted the freedom we hold so very dear. When preserving that freedom requires exercising our power, we will always be accused of being a bully by some. But what one man calls a bully may be called a savior by another and we have been a savior to many.

When preserving that freedom requires exercising our power, we will always be accused of being a bully by some. Most of our freedoms are being removed by the statist government and their disdain for the Constitution. Why support these criminals?
