<< Somedays I'd just like to lower the boom on everyone and have things my way...sorta how GWB must feel these days. <g> >> Exactly! The world complains because of how America treats the Arab prisoners in Cuba, even though we treat the prisoners better than any Arab country would. Americans, who get captured by Arabs, get the shit kicked out of them, tortured, and/or murdered. And.... it's not just the Arabs. For instance, look how badly the Koreans and the Japanese treated American prisoners. We can't be the police of the world, but, just once, wouldn't it be nice if we could get rid of cancers like Saddam Hussein, or Fidel Castro, or Kim Bong Il, or Arafat, or Ayatollah Ali Khamenei? The problem is, though, that another cancer would pop up. Many blame America for supporting despots around the globe. In many cases, what the hell else do we have to deal with? |
