some of America's allies express the position that America is a greater threat to world peace than Saddam Hussein

Spoken like a spoiled brat 16-year old daughter- who screams "I HATE YOU!" - and runs away. We all know what usually happens to girls like that, who don't soon come to their senses and return home.

But a key difference here is - these other nations aren't our sons and daughters. We don't have to love these cretins. I don't give a flying frik WHAT happens to these smarmy bastards. If we go isolationists - we also need to turn a deaf ear when THEIR crap hits THEIR fan.

I will never forgive them.

Evil doesn't go away quietly.

Agreed. Screw 'em.

The true mark of a friend is one who stands by us when the going gets tough. It is clear that America really has no true friends, and only a small handful of "sometime" friends: Great Britain, Israel, are the only two who seem to be with us more than any others, and just recently relative few former Soviet satellites (Poland, the Czech Republic, and Bulgaria) seem to be cozying up to us, but for how long is anyone's guess. The cold truth is that we ARE alone, in the end, and the sooner we accept that fact the better off we'll be. Face it, folks: In today's world, friends are nothing more than associates of convenience, temporary pals of dubious quality showing up only when they want something. Our first move, for our own sake, is to get out of the U.N. and tell that feeble body to vacate our shores forthwith.
