You asked for an estimate of our enemies, which includes people who are or are willing to aid international terrorists. So I gave you an estimate.

We've got 4.5% of the world's population and use 25% of it's oil production. It is disproportionally our problem.

Irrelevant to the issue.

Correct. We owe them too much money and we're deadbeats... that's their problem.


Actually we're not deadbeats. The danger is we might become deadbeats someday given our demographic problem. In fact, for many of the holders of US debt securities, those are their safest assets.

The guy probably wouldn't have been elected if we hadn't invaded Iraq. The last guy was a reformer... oh well.


He was picked by the mullahs. Iran doesn't have free elections - only mullah-approved candidates can run.
