If this is true, then you will have no problem citing the part of the US Constitution that is operable, right?
Why don't we look at the predictions of Nostradamus and base our policy on that then?
So you have a "world passport"?
We have a right to have what you term "short-sighted views". We have a right to base our own governmental policies on what is best for US. If you don't like it? Well, sorry about that...  |
Attitudes like yours are what makes us looked upon as bullies or the wife beating husband...... and sadly what also makes us terrorist targets. IT IS NOT THE USA'S PLANET, it is every country's planet and if their agenda affects us, we slam them and expect them to change, the world community has the right to do so with us if we affect them in negative ways with our agendas that affect them in negative ways.
One of these days soon, we may need help from one of these countries you so laugh at and they will in turn laugh back at you.
May I need remind you that the poorer nations and the nations we aggitate towards hating us (with those "better and holier than thoy attitudes" so many these days seem to have in regard to foreign relations), are growing and are far younger and hungrier than us.
We may have nukes but that maybe all we have someday and eventually the nukes won't scare them.
If you think we are untouchable and that we are invincible that no country will ever take us down, ask Napolean, Rome, Stalin, Hitler at their height who would take them down.
Wars are won by who is the hungriest and has the least to lose.
