I just don't feel like taking on the entire world and becoming a universally hated pariah. Being shut out of the global economy would be a death blow.

You don't FEEL like it?!! Screw that pablum, Ickey, because you are in this up to your ever-lovin' ass, whether you like it or not. The global left has been marching on this nation since 1917, and these "spontaneous" eruptions of duplicitous anti-Americanism (disguised as concern for Iraqi children) really ought to be slapping you awake in a big way. The U.N. has been exposed as a global fraternity for oppressive hegemonies, yet we are supposed to quake because the useful idiots who bow to the powder blue idol can organize protests of people who have nothing better to do today? The world - or at least part of it - is taking you, me and every American on... if you think we would be less of a pariah if we would just bend over this time and give the world a jar of Vaseline and an apology for being so naughty to Saddam, you don't know jack about human nature and how the mean old world has, does, and always will operate.

What's the global economy without the United States? Are the French going to sell a lot of wine to Chileans? Think anyone in Zimbabwe under the rank of Deputy Mugabe Rumpswab will be buying Mercedes Benzes? Maybe the Belgians can get nations to buy back their own cacao in individually wrapped form after all the middlemen take their cut. Do you think the ChiComs will sell a lot of die-cast junk to Uzbekistan toy collectors? Death blow... get real. A lot of what is going on right now will be bitter medicine in the short term, but it is medicine, nonetheless. All this can do is make us stronger and let us know who not to go to the dance with.

I am getting real tired of the Chicken Littles on this forum (and in this nation) who have nothing better to do than project the image of a quivering, effeminate Uncle Sam. That kind of crap is going to make the bad guys bolder, and it can get Americans killed. The activists and so-called "journalists" who keep plugging way at our resolve are going to be just as guilty as any Al Qaida infiltrator as far as damage to our nation is concerned. If keyboard pundits sitting on their loathsome, spotty bottoms can't muster an ounce of courage while our sons, daughters, parents and servicepeople of all types are going toe-to-toe with some of the worst characters and weapons this young century can offer, then we are not just gutless, we are beneath contempt.

Well said. It makes me sick to see all these over-the-top protest photos. I don't care how unpopular the war is abroad, or even in our own country. I KNOW it is the right thing to do, and my support for it will not waver. I'm so glad for Free Republic right now, because although I don't NEED other people to validate my views, it sure is nice to know there are a lot that share them.

How many French men does it take to guard France?
No one knows, it has never been tried.

How many Frenchmen does it take to change a light bulb? Three. One to Run away. One to surrender to the light bulb. One to call the US crying for help!

How many Germans and Frenchmen died in WWII?
Not enough.

Where can you find 60 Million French Jokes?
In France!

Why don't they shoot fireworks off at the French Disneyland?
The noise causes too many Frenchmen to surrender!
