"What lack of faith in the intelligence and humaneness of people!"
Atomou are you serious? There are countries out there wanting to see the fall of the West in fact they are plotting our destruction now. What "humaneness" was used in the Bali bombings?
Sorry mate but if it is a choice of us or them I will take us every time. They want the wealth we have but don't want to do the hard yards to get it. So they have decided the world owes them a living.
Are you telling me the Dictators of the world would suddenly see reason if the US disappeared. This idea of a nation of peace will never happen. The US is not the problem it others wanting what they have.
I am more than happy to back the US. Just read a few history books easy to see we are not a peaceful species so you need someone to get their hands dirty to keep the peace. I have no issues with that I'm a realist.
