I totally agree, and all we need to do is act in a way that puts the world on notice that whatever we do or say in defense of Democracy or freedom anywhere, we mean what we say. We dont have do that heavy handedly either, although a little thump up the side of the head once in while for emphasis wouldnt hurt.

But we cant do that as long as we have weak timid leaders, apothetic citizens, and moral relativism.

The U.S. may not want to be the world’s jailer, but it’s pretty clear than no one else wants the job.

Not that I blame other countries. It’s much easier, and more popular, to let big, bad America deal with unpleasant realities like terrorism: and then yell at America when things go wrong, or approval ratings at home start slipping.

Cynical? Maybe. But I think that the (rather long) list of countries participating in America’s “unilateral” action in Iraq is suggestive. There are many places out there where people don’t mind having Uncle Sam covering their back.

Kraig,

There will always be ways of moving money around with or without banks.

But how about flying these pieces of pig dung (specifically-chosen phrase for them) to other countries anyway? If they don’t want them, let them take care of the problem. I’m thinking specifically of sending a bunch to France, a few more to Italy. You know, all the countries that decry our inhumanity so loudly, and have major muslim populations to integrate those hooves of pigs feet back into.

How about the notion of detaining people on a whim in the first place. Yes it is heartless. If you want to stop terrorism stop the funding. the one thing that hasn’t been done mainly because it is too many of bush and conservative bussiness partners. No better to fly them out of the country. It is easy- their is no terrorism without the banks to move the money around.

We are always the first to be blamed. We are always the first for requested aid somewhere. We are always first in striving for freedom for all. We are first to be the most inhumane to all others. America is first in everything. Eat your heart out Europe, New Zealand, Canada, Mexico and the Middle East. We are the best because we work hard to be the best. Only the ‘ninnies’ cannot survive without ‘birth to death’ care.
