We are not always right

Which is why I'm wondering why and the hell the super bowl, and a middle finger are getting more headlines.

Iran, Syria, what next? This could be the start of another war with Israel and many parts of the middle east, sucking the United States into what would amount to a holy war.

Just goes to show how brave we are, doesn't it? Somebody keys our official bulletproof limo, and we pack up and get out.

It is about so much more than that...especially since we need to stop being a policeman to the world. More than ever before, we need to clean up our own house.... America is a mess..

Your statement proves how little you understand about foreign affairs. Closing an embassy, and removing all personnel is a big deal internationally.

Hold on now, when have I advocated war or being the world police?

I said closing our embassy and removing our diplomats was good. I don't want to go to war, but this could be a precursor anyway.
