A lot of Americans (not nearly so enlightened as the limousine liberals who gnash their teeth everytime the US takes the initiative and runs the risk of offending our 'neighbors'), wonder what the world would be like if the shoe were on the other foot. Could you imagine a world in which the Middle Eastern nations were the 'superpowers'? Really believe that they'd show the same restraint we have in the past? Yes, I said 'RESTRAINT'. Think about it. And by the way, rsnlk----do you really think the "Martins" of the world take your perspective seriously?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389007650371363826.post-56332150796405730092008-02-03T09:54:00.000-05:002008-02-03T09:54:00.000-05:00Don't have time right now to respond, but I will. ...Don't have time right now to respond, but I will.

To say that the US foreign policy is a joke. Bush "you're either with us or against us", "good or evil", this dichotomous view of the world really underlines this administrations total and utter lack of the concept of international relations.Martin Garthwaitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02418473285625244633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389007650371363826.post-14548059416695729922008-02-02T10:03:00.000-05:002008-02-02T10:03:00.000-05:00The world was a dangerous place a long time before...The world was a dangerous place a long time before Bush, or even the United States.
