This is a subject you don't want to get me started on. The whole world depends on 'Uncle Sucker' to play world police force FOR FREE. Since when do we owe that to the other countries? Then lets have a look at jerks like China & Russia who ruthlessly use our good offices when it suits their political games & then cut our throat when they can get an advantage that way. Both China & Russia have far more to fear from a nuclear Iran or a Taliban dominated Afghanistan. Both have common borders with these outlaw states. But no, they keep their skirts out of the mud while we do ALL the heavy lifting. America simply doesn't have the resources to fight their fights for them. It's time to cut these mega-freeloaders loose. The UN is even worse; both in their expectations of us & their obstruction of us at every turn. Permalink
