Just to be clear, I was making fun of your statement. You say that we are
the laughingstock of the world, and I just laugh at that (Ha ha! :-). The
US is in a very difficult position of having sufficient power to destroy
most any enemy, but having no desire to simply crush an entire country (and
I expect that sometime in the future, sooner or later, the power of the US
will dwindle and someone else will rise to preeminence. That will clearly
be a hard pill to swallow.
But it hasn't happened yet, so let's not worry too much about it.

I was listening to talk radio today, and they played some stuff from last
night's FrontLine (PBS). They had a newsman slip into Iraq and he was
interviewing people. They were describing the slaughters going on there.
One woman said that her village was forced to an execution. They had to

Whaddya mean we? Actually the UN and European aid agencies from Sweden, Norway
and the Netherlands in particular are the ones who have been building the schools
and training doctors. And Medecins sans Frontieres is not a US agency so far as I
know. You're helping, yes, but spread a bit of credit
Then we will have to practically police the world. I don't think that is
appropriate. Why weren't we sending money overseas to help the people in
those countries make better lives instead of trying to make huge profits in
this country as businessmen?

Ahem, it is embarrassing when you dissimulate. We bought oil through the
oil for food program, wherein the money is carefully tracked. And you are
not so stupid as to not know that I am talking about the other type of

It is hard to imagine who our dignity could be any further ravaged than it
already is, thanks to Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky.

I wouldn't say laughingstock, but when you're an elephant in a world of mice, the
mice get nervous, even when the elephant is kindly disposed towards them.
There's an article in the latest Atlantic Monthly that is kind of related to this.
I don't go as far as the author does in his theme, which

I don't think so. This is something George III inherited from his Daddy, I'm
afraid. After all, the Clinton presidency pursued the USS Cole case with as much
vigour as any Republican president would have. But Clinton didn't need to turn it
into a domestic election issue.
