“From our decisive victories in Iraq and Afghanistan.”

What’s funny about this is the victory in Afghanistan was decisive. Is Israel in anarchy because of the suicide bombers attacked it?

Rick,

You should write more pieces like this. I always enjoy seeing anti-Bush, anti-American, anti-everything tomes like Smith’s ripped to shreds.

Keep fighting the good fight.

The “might” of the United States exists independent of politics, of government, and most especially of idiots like you.

And why throw up Gitmo? I criticized Smith’s stupidity and you get hysterical and wet your pants?

What a dolt.

Obviously Smith is deranged. There can be no doubt that the might of our country under the glorious rule of George W. Bush is greater than it has ever been. From our decisive victories in Iraq and Afghanistan, to the hopes of the Iranian people for our impending liberation of their oppressed land, we are the light that shines for the freedom billions long to have.

I hear there are a couple of cells available down in Gitmo these days. Wouldn’t that be a good destination for those freedom haters who so unwisely open their stupid mouths and spew such nonsense?

The end of the cold war had as much to do will any loss of American influence as anything. It should be no surprise that nations who no longer require our protection from the Soviets would start acting “rebellious.” It’s akin to the befuddled parent who can’t understand why their teenager isn’t eternally grateful for all those diaper changes and lost sleep of early childhood.

A tremendous global realignment always brings change in international relationships. We should not expect or demand former allies to support us just because we’re the USA, but at the same time our (former) allies need to realize that American power keeps oil flowing from volatile regions to keep them warm at night, and provides open sea lanes so critical to the global economy.

As long as people and businesses can make money, they will always find reasons to do business with the US. Even if the entire world were against us - which it is not - somebody would be buting something from us or selling something to us. Money creates its own ‘playing field’ and everybody wants to be a part of it. I don’t agree with the comments by tps about the lefties ‘hating’ anybody. Sure there are folks who do that, on both sides. If after six years the US has fallen to this, we are truly in trouble. America and Americans must stick together. Even if we adamantly disagree with others’ points of view. I believe we all must continue to find ways to communicate as a country.

Umm FR…. A goodly portion of those American leftists already hate those on the right and the country as a whole. Seems like you want us to go begging at the feet of the Kossacks/etc and beg their forgiveness for pointing out their failings.

Do you hate American leftists? Sure sounds like you do. “A house divided will not stand.” If Americans who disagree with each other treat each other as enemies, America is weaker. Is that what you want?
