But you know this already, you just chose to wrap the flag around it instead, which is what makes the NeoCon agenda so frightening.

MEDDLEMENT .YOu've got to be kidding...This is the most naive statement I've heard on this Board...Exactly what do you think it takes for Americans to ENJOY the standard of living we have? THe US has to be a proactive force in the world...that mantle of responsibilitywas finaly recognized by our government in 1948. You don't get to be Rome with out "Meddleing"
Now heres a bit of a rant for U....The history they taught you when I was going to school was one where America was the shining example to the world, that our country wore the white hat and America was the next best thing to the immaculate conception. It was my generation the Boomers that said "Oh no, the the USA hasn't been the ideal place we have blood on our hands." well the Boomers are in power now and all they can do is bad mouth America and castigate ourselves for being a country..What we, they don't realize is that it takes dirt on the hands to run a country...everything isn't ideal...and lily white... if you want lily white you better be prepared to go live out in Teddys Kozinskis cabin in Montana... cause that what your gona have nothin...
