re: 1898: <in your world we would not ever have become a global power> Does power only come out of the barrel of a gun? <we are what we are> But that is not our self-image; that is not what we truly want to be; and, most of all, the world will not tolerate us acting that way any longer. If we truly want to rule the planet, or just life on it without fear, we need to return to our roots. ----------------------- Repeat after me, and before sending any troops Over There: all men are created equal (even Palestinians and Koreans) "Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed" (not from foreign "liberating" armies) We will no longer engage in: "transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, ........with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation." (No more Vietnams) "Congress shall have Power To.....declare war" (not the President) "Congress shall have the Power to......define and punish Piracies and Felonies committed on the high Seas, and Offences against the Law of Nations" (not set up extra-judicial concentration camps at Guantanamo, which ignore our treaty obligations) "Congress shall make no law......abridging the freedom of speech" (and our Army and CIA shouldn't put in power Pinochets and Shahs that do this, either) archives.gov
