We lost the rule of law and replaced it with the rule of the gun. We "won". That makes it right to people like you. Specifically, we lost the right to call ourselves a nation that respects and is guided by the rule of law. We lost the right to call ourselves honest. These basic virtues had provided a sense of moral authority and respect to America. Now we are just a country with more firepower than the next guy. We lost what makes us a great nation -- we lost some of our most cherished principles. We undermined our system of government. When you mislead Congress and the American people by politicizing US intelligence to use it in a bogus manner as a pretext for war, you destroy the checks and balances that are supposed to keep Presidents from using the military to invade countries at will, without justification or sober second thought. When you mislead the world and then harshly criticize anybody that dares to offer another view, you are a bully. When you go against international law, you no longer have legitimacy in the international community of nations. Make a point Bob -- so far you have just engaged in your usual name calling.
